Field notes

The page breaks possible searches into moving objects, transits, changing sources, nearby objects, and anomalies that emerge across archives. It names TESS, Gaia, ZTF, DECam, and WISE, while noting that HSC requires registration for non-commercial science and education. The project cautions that candidates need false-positive checks and that catalogue mismatches can reflect data or joining problems.
