Optical Filters . The WFPC2 camera configuration and filter set require a substantial number of apertures for full utilization of its capabilities. ... An additional set of aperture names have been defined for use with the WFPC2 filters which require partial rotations. ... The pixel coordinates of these apertures will be reviewed on a regular basis to reflect changes in CCD and filter cosmetics. ... The aperture name is generally the same as the (rotated) filter name. ...

... PISTON piston . ... this command is not used by the TCC The guide camera mechanical controller sets the filter, focus and other mechanical functions, but not the position of the guide camera in the focal plane.

... NFILTCAR is the logical rather than the physical number of carriers; if two or more filter wheels are encoded as a single character in the data, there is effectively only one filter wheel, as far as data handling is concerned. If one filter mechanism carries chromatic filters and another carries ``neutral'' filters, the total number of bands (i.e., rows) in the table should be the product of the number of positions in the two carriers. ...

. Number of Supernovae discovered by amateurs. In this page the amateurs' contribution in supernovae discoveries is shown. The SN 1957B was the first supernova discovered by an amateur astronomer: Giuliano Romano. He discovered it with his own 0.40 mt. telescope at Treviso (Italy), then later he become a professional. This graph is updated to SN 2000ek . Yellow values are SNe discovered by amateurs, red ones the total number of SNe discovered for each year .

... The absolute magnitude of the RCBs in the LMC and the small number of Galactic RCBs implies that they are very rare stars. Together with statistics for related stars, the total number of hydrogen-deficient stars in the Galaxy is estimated to be about 1000 ([ Warner 1967 ]). Whilst the luminosity of RCBs is similar to that of other low-mass stars as they evolve rapidly from the asymptotic giant branch to become white dwarfs, their frequency is much lower. ...
