Hi Alex,
currently only me have the full collection on my PC, I haven't uploaded it
yet as it's quite large (70 Gb in jpeg). The last time I worked on it I
created an intermediate script which pre-process the base images and ended
up with something about 43 Gb. It's not something that can be used from
Stellarium, it still needs some large processing to generate TOAST tiles.
Beside the hosting issue, the main reason this project was not finished is
that I still haven't managed to obtain images nice enough, there is a big
color harmonization issue between each plates in certain regions. It's a
tricky issue, but it would be great if someone has time to work on that!
The processing scripts and tools are located in the toast branch (
https://code.launchpad.net/~stellarium/stellarium/toastImages), but I need
to update them to reflect the last version (I worked without version
control, shame on me!); Also they are not documented. If someone is
interested, I'll try to push everything I have ASAP. For the data, if
someone has a server I can try to upload the intermediate data (42Gb) from
my slow connection.
On the legal aspect, some years ago, I got the authorization from the
various DSS owners to use it in Stellarium, but it's unfortunately not an
open license, so we are not allowed to use it for other purposes.
