Armagh Observatory, 16 January 2002: . Apostolos Christou and John McFarland have made the first detection, from anywhere in Ireland, of the shadow cast by a star of an asteroid as it passed over Armagh. Such events, known as asteroidal occultations, allow a precise fix to be made on the asteroid's position in space, and also an estimate of its size and shape. ... Asteroids are mostly small, rocky objects, lying hundreds of millions of miles from the Earth between Mars and Jupiter. ...

If the image header contains World Coordinate System information, SAOtng will display WCS positions as the mouse is moved across the image. The format for the display is controlled by the Coords Menu (or using the right mouse button on the screen WCS display). ... WCS information is displayed on the lower part of the image. ... The coordinates are returned in the current format, (e.g. if your image supports WCS information, you can get RA/Dec output). ...

The information on those coordinates, which are currently displayed, should be introduced. To do this select O – C in menu bar and select Data type item in drop-down menu. ... Take notice that after introducing information on coordinates the header of the table must correspond to the type and format of introduced observations. This information on observations is preserved after running and can be used for subsequent runs. ...
