<p>Dear Hipsers,</p>
<p>Some news concerning IVOA HiPS network developement/deployement,
and a registry question (at the end) :</p>
<p>1) I'm pleased to announce that several new HiPS nodes have
already been deployed since the Santiago Chili IVOA meeting. And
some others are in preparation :<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>2x Canada : CADC => <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hips2.canfar.net/hipslist.txt">http://hips2.canfar.net/hipslist.txt</a> ,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hips.canfar.net/hipslist.txt">http://hips.canfar.net/hipslist.txt</a> <br>
</li>
<li>1x Australia : ANU =>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://skymapper.anu.edu.au/_HiPS/hipslist.txt">http://skymapper.anu.edu.au/_HiPS/hipslist.txt</a><br>
</li>
<li>Some others are still in preparation : Chili/ChiVO, China/VO,
2xUS/IPAC&HEASARC, Europe/ESO</li>
</ul>
<p>Also, several big surveys and radio surveys have been recently
successfully "HiPSized":</p>
<ul>
<li>PanSTARRs (g band) : the biggest HiPS never provided before
(10 trillion pixels, 200 mas resolution)<br>
=> It can be browsed seamlessly <a

Aladin Lite</a>, <a

Desktop</a> </li>
<li>Skymapper - all bands + color</li>
<li>VISTA VVV - Z-Y-J-H bands + color</li>
<li>Radio surveys: AMIGPS, DRAO-VillaElisa, DWINGELOO, EHBIS,
GASS, MAIPU, MITEoR, URUMQI, WHAM</li>
</ul>
<p>2) However, I bring to your attention that even we have now 14
"official" HiPS nodes, only 3 of them are really declared in the
VO registry.<br>
So the question : Is the VO registry declaration too complex for
HiPS nodes ? How to facilitate these registrations ?<br>
</p>
<p>Cheers<br>
