... Coordinate system . It is necessary to specify the coordinate system for the drilling of plug-plates so that the drilling file (currently named plPlugMap), plate drilling, cartridge, rotator wrap and the rotator itself are compatible. ... The TCC rotator angle (object system) is defined to be 0 degrees for this orientation. ... Thus, the rotator angle gives the conventional astronomical position angle on the sky of the y axis (although Russell won't acknowledge this necessarily). ...

... Impact on source motion in Galactic coordinate system is given by Kovalevsky (2003), Malkin (2011) l cos b = -A sin l, b = -A cos l sin b, where A = R0 02 /c is the galactocentric acceleration called hereafter the GA constant. ... We just have to return to the traditional many-centuries-old astrometric practice of modelling the position of a celestial object as a linear trend with two parameters: the position at the initial (conventional) epoch and the apparent (proper) motion. ... 2011). ...

Next: Catalog Construction Up: Observations and Analysis Previous: Source Detections . ... It was assumed that the highest signal gives the most likely position of the source. ... Comparing the summed map with the maps from the individual energy ranges, the one which produced the smallest error box was chosen to represent the source position, as long as was greater than 4, a level chosen to reflect a reasonable degree of confidence in the detection. ...

... The HST uses an onboard model of its orbit to perform in real-time various control functions relating to spacecraft operations and observation support. ... New coefficients for the ephemeris are updated every other day, and are archived as FITS keywords for each HST observation data set. Using these coefficients,an observer can perform a variety of calibration and characterization calculations relating to the orbital position and velocity of the telescope. ...

Position Switching Separation Tolerance with Arecibo in L-Band Travis McIntyre The University of New Mexico July 2010 Revised December 2013 Abstract The blocked telescope aperture at Arecibo creates standing waves in the bandpass around 1MHz. ... Test observations with Arecibo in L-Band show that position switching effectively removes standing waves for separations of one half FWHM or less. Standing waves remain for separations of one FWHM, increasing the rms of the baseline by 20%. ...

... Advises . Contact Advises . As an advise for amateurs we would like to underline: if it's possible, try to observe 3 asteroid positions per night and do not neglect to observe the Numbered Minor Planets in your telescope field of view as a "by product" of your observational programs. ... We think such estimations ought to be produced every morning after CCD observations of the moving celestial objects by observer himself. ...
