</script>The SKYSURF Project (Windhorst et al. 2022) analyzes the extragalactic background light (both directly using sky background measurements and indirectly using galaxy counts) using the HST Archive. While HST images probe faint galaxies unseen by ground-based imaging, its small field of view prevents it from probing the large-scale structure around its observations. To supplement SKYSURF analysis, we cross-match SKYSURF pointings with SDSS observations able to probe the surrounding large-scale environment (Bhatia et al. 2024). The tables in this database include galaxies brighter than r=22.5 AB mag photometrically identified in SDSS, within +/-5 arcmin around a SKYSURF pointing. The tables in the Object_AB directory include information on all SDSS objects, organized by the HST camera and filter of the central pointing. The tables in the IGL directory include the total galaxy counts and integrated galaxy light (down to AB mag=22.5) for all SDSS objects surrounding a given SKYSURF image.
