Changes in the WFPC2 observation scheduling system were introduced early in 1999 primarily in order to increase the scheduling efficiency of HST observations starting with Cycle 8. First, the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) contours used to limit WFPC2 observations were modified slightly. ... This change results in a 3% increase in designated SAA-free orbits, which allows better scheduling efficiency, and is expected to negatively impact less than 0.1% of WFPC2 science observations. ...

GrIm II . ... The MC has been modified to change the way GRIM images are stored to disk when FITS format is selected. ... The solution the Grim team has come up with is to internally add a constant of 10000 to every pixel of the 'bias subtracted' grim image which makes it conform to the unsigned 16-bit number standard, in that all pixel values after this addition of 10000 are in the range 0-65535. ... We have now implemented this for storage of GRIM files in FITS format. ... filetype fits . ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...
