11. 05.06.2005 VAK2004, Moscow, SAI Plate Digitization Flat bad scanner Epson 1640 XL consortium – Italy(7), Germany(2), Armenia(1), Bulgaria(1), Russia(2) etc. –(speed: p/week 25-100 GB; res. 16 μ/pix) Plate size: up to 30x30 cm. More FB scanners: Sonneberg(!), Konkoly, Bucharest, Spain, USA (MMO) etc. Future generation scanners –HCO, Bob Simcoe scanner

12. 05.06.2005 VAK2004, Moscow, SAI HyperLeda mirror in SSADC http://www.skyarchive.org/hyperleda The scientific goal which motivated the development of former HyperCat was the study of the physics and evolution of galaxies. Since 2000 HyperCat and LEDA are operated in a common consortium which will offer a merged interface called HyperLeda. Since 2004 HyperLEDA is mirrored in SSADC, future development DENIS mirror: contract was signed
