Searching the Cards

If you are a researcher and want to search the Eggen Card Database, you simply go to the Portal (link in the side panel to the right). There you just fill in the fields on the "Select Batch" line (probably only the "Star name" field) and hit Request. The Portal uses Simbad to resolve star name aliases, so put in what ever name you wish.

You will then be presented with the first of the card images that has information related to that star. You can move through the batch of cards meeting your request with the Next and Prev button on the Edit Card line.
