This page describes the contents of the PanSTARRS-1 observational metadata database tables.  These tables include information on the observations that contributed to the PS1 survey, including observation date, exposure time, filter, seeing, etc. Other tables include information on secondary data products such as the list of images that contribute to stacks. The information is not specific to individual objects but may be useful in understanding the images and catalogs. The descriptions are extracted from the PSPS Schema Browser interface created by the University of Hawaii.

The astrometric calibration of the reference stack is listed.
