... Exposure Time Calculator (ETC) . Survey processing . ... VISTA is a 4-m class wide field survey telescope for the southern hemisphere, equipped with a near infrared camera (1.65 degree diameter field of view at VISTA's nominal pixel size) containing 67 million pixels of mean size 0.34 arcsec and available broad band filters at Z,Y,J,H,K s and a narrow band filter at 1.18 micron. A wide field visible camera, if constructed, could also be used on VISTA. ... Tile . ... ESO VISTA Public Surveys . ...

... The variability of the spectrum of the optical component of the IR-source IRAS01005+7910 was discovered for the first time in the BTA spectra [1]. ... The spectral features include absorptions that form in near-photospheric layers, narrow envelope emissions, and emission-absorption profiles that form in photosphere-to-envelope transition layers (the wind). ... Discovery of spectral variation in the optical counterpart of IRAS01005+7910. ... Dashed line - envelope curve of all the SiII 5979 profiles ...

STARTEST IMAGES GALLERY . STARTESTING TELESCOPES WITH AN AUTOCOLLIMATOR . ... This website is a joint effort of Markus Ludes from APM-Telescopes and Cor Berrevoets ( Aberrator free startesting Software ). The site aims at explaining the different aspects of star-testing telescopes. ... Markus Ludes (APM telescopes) used a high quality 10" Maksutov Newtonian (Zygo tested at 632,8 nm with the following errors: 1/10.1 wavefront p.t.v. and 1/51 wavefront RMS) as collimator in single pass scheme. ...

Super Rocket Targets . NPO MOLNIYA has been designing rockets-targets for over 30 years using the great experience in crea-ting anti-aircraft guided rockets (AGR) for C-25M. On the basis of B-300 anti-aircraft rockets which expired their service life, there were designed, tested and put into the serial production the following types of the rocket - ... The analogue of this system successfully passed the state tests with the ZVEZDA-4 rocket-target. ...

... FEATURES OF OBTAINED IMAGES All images obtained by the TESIS have a number of artifacts, i.e., the dark current, flat field, blurring (related to the feature of input shutters and CCD matrices of the equipment), and frame damage caused by the entry of cosmic particles. In addition, poor accuracy of the spacecraft stabilization leads to the fact that separately taken images of the Sun have a ran dom displacement and rotation relative to the CCD matrix. ... Methods of image recording of the TESIS. ...
