We have released a further set of SUMSS
mosaics, including some which have been
remade with new observations of fields
which previously had poor-quality data.
629 Extragalactic mosaics
and
94 Galactic mosaics have now been released,
covering an area of about 9000 square
degrees (see image at right for sky coverage).
