... 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). ...

RTT150 . Russian-Turkish 1.5-m Telescope . ... Telescope has two main foci (Cassegrain and Coude ) and allows to use six optical systems based on Ritchey-Chretien system with a common main mirror . At present scientific observations are being performed at the Cassegrain focus in main optical scheme with focal ratio of 1:7.7. ... flat . ... To use the Coude focus the removable flat diagonal mirror is also needed in the crossing point of declination axis and main optical axis of telescope. ...

... HST Overview . ... Observations of a target taken back-to-back with the MAMAs and the CCD, and with no telescope movement between the individual observations should have the same world coordinates in either detector. ... The centers of the STIS CCD and MAMA detectors have the same U2-U3 coordinates in the sky. ... In other words, if the target coordinates were precise and no offset was specified in the proposal, the target should be in the center of the field of view of the CCD and the MAMA...

The GIPSY coordinate system is implemented in terms of a collection of mostly FITS-compatible GDS descriptor items. ... The axis name is uniquely related to the physical coordinates of the pixels along the axis. ... For this position the physical coordinate is precisely defined in CRVAL i , and therefore we call this position the projection centre. ... The GIPSY coordinate system also recognizes secondary axis descriptors, which relate grid positions to a different type of physical units. ...

... Okayama Astrophysical Observatory, NAOJ, Kamogata, Asakuchi, Okayama 719-02, Japan . ... A data archive system for optical CCD data produced at Kiso Observatory and Okayama Astrophysical Observatory is discussed. This system, named MOKA, allows users to search data with some constraints, preview data, and view FITS headers. ... To overcome this, we decided to develop an archive system for the CCD data available now at the Kiso Observatory (Kiso) and the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory (OAO). ...
