... 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. ...

These observations are aimed at fully charactering FORS1 photometric system (UBVRI zero-points, color-terms and extinction coefficients) for the Tektronix 2048x2048 pixel CCD (24µm px) . To this aim, the two Landolt/Stetson photometric fields SA95 and SA101 will be observed on a number of epochs and at different airmasses during February and March 2007. ... SA101 . ... OBs for SA101 have to be observed during evenigh twilight (exceptions are expected for the second half of March) . ...

Alfa_ang is a GUI for the rotang routine. The purpose of this routine is to calculate the optimum rotation angle for ALFA given the RA and Dec of a source and the date and time of the observation. The routine also returns the azimuth and zenith angle of the telescope at the requested time, thus it can be used to find the correct rotation angle and azimuth for the Fixed Azimuth Drift Scan observing mode used by the AGES drift precursor observation. ... To run alfa_ang at Arecibo: . ...
