skies

The skies directory contains blank sky locations derived at the pixel-level from the Legacy Surveys images. Sky locations are stored in files that are grouped by (nested) HEALPixel number in filenames that resemble skies-hp-{HP}.fits, where HP is the HEALPixel number.

The skies directory may also contain an unpartitioned sub-directory. This exists because the sky locations are originally generated in Legacy Surveys bricks before being re-partitioned into HEALPixels. The unpartitioned sub-directory contains files assembled according to which bricks occupy each HEALPixel rather than by which sky locations occupy each HEALPixel.
