The aim of this section of the course is to familiarise you with celestial Coordinates. ... I found some good notes explaining the celestial coordinate system on the web: . ... 1st Dec: 04hr, 00min In addition to the equatorial coordinates described in the notes above, astronomers also use (at least) two other coordinate systes: galactic coordinates and ecliptic coordinates. ... Ecliptic coordinates use the ecliptic (the Earth's path around the sun) as the equator, and are used for solar system work. ...

... Coordinate system . It is necessary to specify the coordinate system for the drilling of plug-plates so that the drilling file (currently named plPlugMap), plate drilling, cartridge, rotator wrap and the rotator itself are compatible. ... The TCC rotator angle (object system) is defined to be 0 degrees for this orientation. ... Thus, the rotator angle gives the conventional astronomical position angle on the sky of the y axis (although Russell won't acknowledge this necessarily). ...

Drift scan are are normally done in coordinates of date (current coordinates). ... The telescope then remains fixed as the sky drifts by. ... Since the az, za is remaining fixed, the drift is being done in current not J2000 coordinates. ... To see how large this change was, a drift scan in J2000 coordinates (15 asecs/sidereal sec epoch J2000) was computed and then the relative motion of the az, za coordinates were plotted. For each day computed: . ... 2005: .5 amin/hour . 2006: .6 amin/hour . ...
