... Astrometry with the FGS, by contrast, proceeds in the reverse order; the positions of the individual objects are found first, and then a virtual plate is constructed with the help of data from the guide stars and check stars. ... Corrections based on guide star data are referred to as POSITION mode dejittering , and those based on check star data are called drift corrections . ... The adjustments to the astrometry centroids from this POSITION mode dejittering correction are typically about 1 mas. ...

The optical scheme of the instrument is sketched in Figure 1 , it is designed to match the F/20 focal ratio of the TIRGO telescope. We have, following the optical path, the window of the dewar, the order sorting filter (not in figure), a field lens, in Calcium Floride, and the slit, in the focal plane of the telescope. ... The resolving power is (for first order of grating) of about 600 in the center of J band and 950 in the center of the K band, using a slit of two pixel (3.46 arcsec). ...

... Astrophysics Group . ... COAST Technical Details . ... The beam from each telescope passes through an aluminium tube, which serves to isolate it from the atmosphere, into the beam combining building. ... Inside the beam combining building the outer annulus of each light beam is separated and used in the acquisition and autoguider system. ... A simple algorithm is then used to detect the offset from the centre of the field, and this is corrected using piezo-driven mirrors at the back of the...
