How do I use the image search (DP1 images) function?

I’m trying to get an image of a specific star, and I have its coordinates. I was able to first locate it using DP1 Catalogs, but now I need to be able to get a better image, which I will use to simulate the same star in PhoSim. I’m really struggling to figure out how to do this, as this is my first time using the portal. Each time I think I have something, the estimated run time is 24 hours, which is a lot of time just to see if what I did was correct in the first place. So what am I doing wrong?

Hi @CamR . Thanks for your post. Could you share more details about the code that produces the estimated run time, and what aspect of the RSP you are using?

Are you wanting this tutorial? 102.2. Query for images with SIAv2 — DP1

SIA is what you need to do a RA/Dec search for an image and then view the image. You can also trigger a cutout request for that image.
