Does anyone have any idea how to get the photometry of SDSS data?

From the SkyServer (http://cas.sdss.org/dr6/en/).

Is there anything in particular that you are looking for?

Actually I would like to find the spectra and photometry for a set of objects,
I can find the spectra here:
http://www.sdss.org/dr6/tutorials/colorconstraints.html
I am wondering if I can find the photometry in a similar way?

Do you have the ObjID of the objects?

If so, then it's a piece of cake! Just use the Explore tool (http://cas.sdss.org/astro/en/tools/explore/obj.asp).

For example, ObjID is 588298663036649507, here (http://cas.sdss.org/astro/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?id=588298663036649507)'s what the Explore tool gives you, complete with spectra AND photometry! :smile:

If you don't know the ObjID, but do know the RA and Dec, then it's just one more step ...
