... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...

... 67Lawrence+ Of the 3118 sources in the Arecibo 611 MHz survey, 2911 have been observed using the NRAO 300 ft transit telescope at 6 cm. ... 4 Mean 1950 RA (see col.3.) ... 6 Mean 1950 Decl.

Instrument Science Report FGS 2005-01 The FGS Astrometry in the Feb 2005 On-orbit Two Gyro Mode Test E. Nelan August 17, 2005 A BSTRACT FGS1r Astrometry was tested under the Two-Gyro Mode (TGM) pointing control law during the February 2005 on-orbit test. ... In each of these orbits the visit contained a single (long) exposure that observed the visit's particular target star for the remainder of the visibility period. ... Visit 02: Visit 02 employed a bright (V=9.9) dominant guide star. ...

... The procedure simply observes ON your source for x minutes and then takes a `blank sky' observation OFF your source for the same amount of time and tracking the same azimuth and zenith angle range. ... Typically, observing times are kept to within 5 minutes (with 5 minutes as the most efficient, and therefore default, choice). ... If your scans are for 5 minutes or less, your wait time should be set to 1 minute (the default setting). ... A 5 minute ON/OFF + 10s CAL takes 11.3 minutes. ...
