Access to raw DECam exposures

Question

Dear helpdesk,

I would like to download all publicly available raw uncalibrated DECam exposures for some sky areas (full focal planes, not individual CCDs). I tried to search corresponding table on the webpage, but found only des_dr2_se which seems to contain only calibrated DES exposures and ivoa_raw.raw_all table which has data from all proposals but returns images while I need exposures.

Could you advise me on how to get DECam exposures if they are available?

Thank you,

Igor

Hi Igor,

Data Lab does not support this use case. Try with the Archive (although I am not sure whether they would throttle/block you if you tried downloading all images): https://astroarchive.noirlab.edu

Best,
