The Galactic First-Look Survey (GFLS) spent about 36 hours mapping
regions of the Milky Way.  The overall goal is to characterize cirrus
and source counts in different galactic environments. The parts of
this survey are:

      o MIPS and IRAC maps (roughly 10' x 2 degrees) across the L1228
        molecular cloud.
      o MIPS and IRAC maps (each roughly 15' x 1 degree) at (l = 254.4, 
        b = 0, -2, -5, -9, -14) and (l=105.6, b = -1.3, 0.3, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32)
        with additional small IRAC maps at l=97.5, b = 0, +/-4, 16

The AORs can be downloaded using SPOT; select "View Program" from the
"File" menu, and enter pid # 104.

This initial release contains just the IRAC data; MIPS data will be
accessible after reprocessing and archive opening.

Data in this release replaces any previous releases.

We have created a status page

        http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/archanaly/status

that shows the processing and archiving status for all of the
instrument campaigns. We will be updating this frequently as we
populate the archive; check there for release status of observations
for this, and other, Spitzer programs.

Briefly, data is PROCESSED through the pipelines, then ARCHIVED and
made available through the interface; First Look Survey, Legacy, and
Early Release Observation data are also staged to the Popular Products
web site. It is much faster to get the public data from the website
than having to query it out of the archive yourself.

Recommended download strategy:

   a.  Download the Spitzer Pride software
        (http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/propkit/spot/)
   b.  Install Spitzer Pride
   c.  Start Leopard
   d.  Select Popular Products Query from the File menu
       and choose the data sets you want
   e.  Select Download Selections from the file menu and let
       the Leopard Subscriber manage the data download from the
       Popular Products website.
