... Re : Need easy way to download whole KHG . ... For now, you can use web mirroring packages to create your own local mirror and read from there. Several such packages are available, and since I don't use any of them, I don't have details like names: can someone else who knows please post details? For the future, it would be nice if someone is interested enough in mirroring to write scripts for the KHG that allow you to read it off-line, but also allow you to respond. ...

... We have been upgrading the software front-end to WASP (Wideband Autocorrelating SPectrometer, operating from 800 to 4000 MHz) from Lynx-OS to Real-Time Linux and will discuss Real-Time software aspects. We are using a standard parallel ``PIO'' card to receive data from the spectrometer and standard GPIB interfaces that drive a frequency synthesizer for bandpass calibration. WASP and its front-end computer are fully mobile and can be taken to any suitable radio telescope. ...

... First of all, I should say that you cannot guarantee user-mode processes to have exact control of timing because of the multi-tasking nature of Linux. ...

When I looked images from others, I noticed, that the star which i marked for nova in my image, is really a very faint doublestar. After more processing for my original image and compared it with Lick Observatory discovery image the real nova is now excatly in the right place. (Sept 4th, 1998) Marko Moilanen .
