Are the POSS PRINT TRANSPARIENCES still available? If so, where and what is the cost? -- Thank You -- RON
- (I reformatted the above.) Wikipedia, as an online encyclopedia, is not directly affiliated with the POSS program, so I don't know that anyone here can answer your question for certain. My suspicion is that transparencies and prints are no longer being produced, at least not by photographic (silver halide chemistry) methods. There was no facility at Caltech for such reproduction when I was there. Researchers now use DPOSS, the online digitized POSS archive, for their work. If nobody is selling what you need, it is possible that a photo lab could output a digital DPOSS image to transparency. -- Coneslayer 16:24, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
