After 6 weeks, SkyMapper is back on-sky! Thanks to all the staff at Siding Spring Observatory for getting us operating again!

Data Release 2 from the SkyMapper Southern Survey is now available to users around the world. Check out the DR2 paper (arxiv.org/abs/2008.10359 or ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2019PASA..…) for the details, and visit skymapper.anu.edu.au to get started!

SkyMapper: Now with Gaia eDR3 goodness skymapper.anu.edu.au/news/gaia-edr3…

All 70,000 exposures (2+ million images) in DR1 can be queried and downloaded using our Image Cutout service skymapper.anu.edu.au/image-cutout/

We have deeper data in the Main Survey to come, but here's a 5/5/10 sec Shallow Survey gri image of Centaurus A. Note the bad CCD column!

OK, it's been more than 24 hours since DR1. Anyone have any exciting early results to share?

Here's a striking g-band image from Chris Wolf of the Snake Nebula in Ophiuchus (which coincidentally means 'serpent bearer') So many stars!

Here at #ASA2017 in chilly Canberra, Chris Onken is telling everyone about SkyMapper's DR1

...and now Gary Da Costa (ANU) is showing early results looking for Extremely Metal Poor Stars in DR1. About 30,000 candidates to follow up!

Chris Wolf (ANU) shows #ASA2017 a 2.5 hour exposure time SkyMapper mosaic of Centaurus A. Just a little deeper than DR1!

From galaxies to the high redshift universe: Fuyan Bian (ANU) is finding quasars in early SkyMapper data. Many more hiding in Main Survey.

.Anais Möller and the SkyMapper Transient Survey are looking for things that go bump (or BOOM!) in the night #ASA2017

The final speaker in the #ASA2017 SkyMapper session is Seo-Won Chang (ANU), who is looking at variable sources in DR1, incl. M dwarf flares!

and here it is, Australian based observations including SkyMapper Telescope ! x.com/arXiver/status…

SkyMapper Telescope deserves a visit in this beautiful afternoon, it looked at the first ever Neutron Star merger detected w. gravitational waves.

See how SkyMapper Telescope helped the effort to observe the first ever #NeutronStar merger detected in #GravitationalWaves skymapper.anu.edu.au/media-gallery/…
