... These are ``quirks'' rather than ``bugs''. Below is a list of quirks. When loading a file and ``Reset Intensity Upon File Load'' is disabled, the intensity range of the previous image will be used. ... When moving between two images (such as when blinking, or when loading a new image), the display system attempts to retain the old image parameters (i.e. zoom box). What is retained are the corners of the zoom box measured in image pixel co-ordinates, not world co-ordinates. ...

... 96.1655Garwood+ We presented results from a continuum VLA snapshot survey of the galactic plane in the longitude range 0d < l < 90d at 1.5 GHz. Observations were taken every 0.5^o in longitude at b=0^o. Most fields are complete to about 30 mJy peak density. The positions, peak, and total flux density of 471 compact sources (<30") have been measured. ...

Observing with ESO Telescopes . ... ESO-MIDAS . ... ESO Data . ... The pipeline by default interpolates across the bad columns in the REDL CCD when it creates the master bias, but does not so when it processes the science data. This inconsistency can create boxy emission-like features as seen in the figure below. ...

... The Cycle 7 calibration goals for NICMOS are listed in Table 17.1 below. Since NICMOS is expected to run out of cryogens between the end of 1998 and the beginning of 1999, these represent the final calibration goals for the instrument. The main limiting factor for attaining such goals will be the thermal stability of the instrument. The Table summarizes the accuracy we expect to achieve for reference files, photometry, astrometry, etc. (see the NICMOS Instrument Handbook ). ...
