Allows you to specify a drift scan: motion at a constant velocity along a great circle. ... The path starts at the new object position (though the telescope actually intersects the path later, see Subtleties ). ... Note that the units are always /sec for both axes. ... The velocity along the path is 0.01 /sec. ... The path is assumed to start when you hit the Slew button (more precisely, when the TCC parses the command). However, it takes the telescope awhile to slew to meet the specified path. ...

The majority of travellers venturing outside of our planet have viewed it only from low orbit as is the case for astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS). Only 24 men have viewed the Earth from outside low orbit as they journeyed to the Moon on the Apollo missions of the late 1960s and 1970s (nine missions, each with a crew of three went to the Moon but three astronauts, Lovell, Young and Cernan flew on two different Apollo missions). ...

... PREEMPT is used to allow, or not, scans to be preempted for other purposes. ... PREEMPT = EXTRA tells /schedb and VLBA operations to treat the scans as extras that can be used to help fill gaps between projects that often occur with dynamic scheduling. PREEMPT = NO tells operations not to use the Pie Town and Mauna Kea antennas at the time of the scan for daily USNO Earth Orientation Parameter (EOP) observations. ... The default, 'OK' , means that the scan be preempted and is a ``core'' scan. ...
