Besides the firefly viewer already included in the LSST Science Pipelines we are trying to connect the cadc-tap server to a standalone dockerized version of firefly. There is little documentation about how to connect the cadc tap server to firefly and we are having troubles. Is there any documentation available on the use of cadc-youcat or a firefly tap server integration?

Hi,

We at the CADC have a version of Firefly pointing at our TAP services running on CADC/CANFAR. If you just want to access CADC tables, you might want to use our version. We also have a copy of the DP1 data. If that is what you want, please contact us at [support@canfar.net](mailto:support@canfar.net)

Regards,

Stephen
