SuperCOSMOS SuperCOSMOS is a common-user, multi-purpose digitising facility, with 50% of its time being spent fulfilling user scanning requests on demand, and 50% devoted to survey digitisation. The main thrust of the survey work is in the preparation of an all-sky multi-colour, multi-epoch object catalogue, which will be a prime resource for a host of research programmes.
