AVO is a joint enterprise of four CNR Institutes in Italy: IFCTR in Milano, IRA in Bologna, IEI in Pisa, and IFSI in Frascati realized in 1997 (no typo here, about 20 yrs ago!).

There are two main goals of the project:

• Put on-line and make easily accessible to the astronomical community astronomical data, both images and catalogs, using a friendly, flexible interface.
• To study and develop new instruments for the interrogation of data archives.

• mail interrogation of Skyeye
• Integration of Einstein Images in Skyeye
