The number of SkyView queries has increased by a factor of 5 over the last year and with our recent move to a virtual machine architecture we have been able to accommodate this growth. However we experienced a spike in usage last night that did affect system availability. Although SkyView is processing queries again we are working with our system administrators to analyze and improve the situation. We apologize for any inconvenience.
