The Astronomical Society of Australia has been asked by STANDARDS AUSTRALIA to compile a list of "designated" optical observatories that are valuable resources for (i) research, (ii) education and (iii) community use. The ASA is the final arbiter of whether any particular observatory is so designated. ... Upon receipt of your application form, your observatory will be entered on a list of "Pending Designated Observatories" on the ASA Home Page. ... It will be emailed for you. ... Email . ...

... Department of Computer Science, CB 3175 Sitterson Hall, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3175 . ... A new deblurring algorithm has been developed involving both iteration and recursion and that is linear, flux-conserving, noise resistant, and faster to converge than extant iterative deblurring methods. Mathematical analysis shows that the recursive component of the algorithm provides the accelerated convergence. ... Iterative Deconvolution . ...

According to the # 7.1. of the Acting Statutes/Regulations on the International Astronomy Olympiad there should be an Authorized National Representative (Astronomical) Organization (ANRAO) in every participating state: A national astronomical society, a department (section) of the EAAS or IAU in the state, a leading observatory, an astronomical department of a leading university, a ministry of education or another appropriate competent institution. ...

Application of IVOA software tools for radio sources investigation Zhelenkova O., Kopylov A., Chernenkov V. The interrelationship between the objects of astronomical catalogs in the different ranges of electromagnetic spectrum and their association into the real astrophysical source has obvious scientific interest. ... We used NVSS as the reference coordinate catalog. ... For 60% of radio sources identified with the objects of the radio catalogs we discovered optical candidates in SDSS survey. ...
