International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) data archive

Dear All,

The 4m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) is India’s first optical survey telescope, which has been continuously monitoring the zenith sky since its first light in April 2022 and has successfully completed four observing cycles until 2025. It covers an area of approximately 115 deg² per year, acquiring nearly 4 TB of high-quality imaging data in the SDSS g′, r′, and i′ filters. The images are fully preprocessed and astrometrically calibrated, with positional accuracies better than ~0.1 arcsec.
