Howdy.  Please change our entry on your pages to have the 
following descriptive text.  BTW, please note that the Image
Database may fit under a "pictures" category, as it includes
objects down to below mag 20.

The APS Catalog of the POSS I contains millions of entries 
for stars and galaxies, and the corresponding Image Database
contains their pixels and more.  The data behind the Object Catalog
and Image Database are generated from digitized Palomar Observatory Sky Survey 
plates.  Object Catalog entries include calibrated magnitudes in two colors,
positions to 0.2 arcseconds, confidence measures on neural
network image classifications, colors, and various other 
useful parameters.
