... This is done by taking in all input files the extension whose name is specified by the maintable parameter (called 'merged extension' in what follows) and merging the columns into a single output extension of the same name. ... Its contents is taken from the CCDID keyword (and QUADRANT for EPIC PN). ... To propagate other column specific keywords, they must be specified manually via the extensionchecks , mainattributes , maxattributes and minattributes parameters (see above). ...

... GHRS IMAGEs and MAPs are obtained with the focus diodes (see Section on page 80 ) at the ends of the array of main science diodes. ... An IMAGE can only record the light in the 1.74 1.74 arcsec region of the LSA. ... A standard IMAGE will have a pixel spacing of 0.109 arcsec and will cover the entire LSA aperture of 1.74 1.74 arcsec. You may also select pixel spacings of 0.055 or 0.027 arcsec, with proportionately smaller regions of the sky covered in a 16 16 (the default) IMAGE. ...

Region markers can be moved, resized, rotated, zoomed, deleted, and can change geometric type. ... For example, markers placed on astronomical catalog positions should be fixed so that one cannot accidentally move them off the specified position. ...

... Following the Observatory's initiative in 2002, drawing attention locally to the issue of light pollution and the problems it produces both for astronomy and awareness of the night sky, and for saving energy and improving the natural environment, Mark Bailey made a presentation on light pollution, on 7 May 2003, to the Armagh City and District Council Environment, Health and Recreation Committee. This focused specifically on the growing problem of light pollution in the City of Armagh. ...

... Imagine that for every pixel in the color image, you take its luminance value (that's how bright it appears). ... In the end, you will have a histogram which counts how many times each luminance value appears in the image (that histogram can be used to analyze the distribution of the luminance values in the image). ... For the watermark effect, we want to use the same value that we used in the Stretch Contrast step, so that the lightest color will be in fact white (255), and nothing will get clamped...
