We present technical details of the digitization of the First Byurakan Survey plates with an EPSON 1680 Pro scanner, a joint venture of the Rome University and the Byurakan Observatory. The astronomical coordinate system is applied to each plate by a semi-automatic procedure, the transparency converted to intensity and all the spectra in each plate automatically extracted by IRAF procedures. A first check of the photometric accuracy achieved is presented.

Abstract
We present technical details of the digitization of the First Byurakan Survey plates with an EPSON 1680 Pro scanner, a joint venture of the Rome University and the Byurakan Observatory. The astronomical coordinate system is applied to each plate by a semi-automatic procedure, the transparency converted to intensity and all the spectra in each plate automatically extracted by IRAF procedures. A first check of the photometric accuracy achieved is presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
