BOKZ Star Instrument Family In-orbit processing results The operating star trackers ­ BOKZ and BOKZ-M ­ can be considered prototypes for the instruments should which provide for controlling s/c angular motion parameters in nominal operation conditions without any support by other systems of the s/c housekeeping system. ... There are bright natural objects (the Sun, the Earth and the Moon) within the instrument's field of view. ...

... The Science Operation Department is composed of Astronomers, Telescope Instruments Operators(TIOs) and Data Handling Administrators(DHAs). ... Astronomers have proposed several methods to quantitatively measure the amount of turbulence above the telescope, which the most common ones is Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM). In optical testing, the Hartmann test is the common method to test the quality of optical components. ... Hartmann mask consists of 48 lenses. ...

The SAOtng graphical user interface is written in TCL using the NOAO widget server . A copy of the GUI specification is maintained in a file named saotng.gui , available in the SAOtng bin directory. If you are familiar with TCL, you can modify this file to create a new GUI and use it as your SAOtng interface. ... But if you create a modified version of saotng.gui, use: make crunch in the SAOtng directory to create the crunch.gui file. ...

Next: Calibration, the ATCA, and Up: Flagging, Manipulating and Examining Previous: Examining Visibility Variables . The task uvedit allows you to apply some specific sorts of corrections or modifications to your visibility dataset. For example, there may be a clock error that needs fixing, or the antenna coordinates were wrong so that u and v need to be recomputed, or the phase centre was wrong requiring a phase rotation and u and v recomputation. ... UVEDIT . ... Input visibility dataset . ...
