... CIMAFITS is the name for the Arecibo FITS-file format. ... This is a list of (fairly) up-to-date documents describing CIMA and CIMAFITS: . The CIMA version history log which is the most up-to-date page listing all changes made to the different versions of CIMA . ... The CIMA user's log which chronologically lists changes made to CIMA that may be relevant to an observer. The CIMA engineering log which lists engineering changes made to CIMA that probably are of less interest to an observer. ...

... Under an agreement with the University of New South Wales (UNSW), for six weeks each year the Mopra telescope is operated with a "National Facility" level of support. ... The development of 12-mm receivers is a key component in the high-frequency upgrade of the Australia Telescope Compact Array. ... Until further notice a limited amount of time is available for science and test observations with the Compact Array with the two 12-mm prototype receivers. ...

... The scheduling routines assist in creating an observing list (stored in the startable) from scratch or from another list stored on disk, and computing the visibility of the stars in a specific night and array configuration. The date of observation is taken from the variable date , and the array name from the variable systemid . If these are not defined, defaults are used for date (the next night) and for array (NPOI). ... addstar , stars _char Add one or more stars to the startable. ...

... NICS will be the only infrared instrument for the first light of the TNG; as a consequence, we decided to incorporate a sufficient degree of operation flexibility by providing the instrument with six different observing modes, three aimed at imaging and three at spectroscopy: . ... It will be possible to use the narrow band filters as order sorters; this will allow to perform high resolution long-slit spectroscopy in the wavelength ranges covered by the available narrow band filters. ...

... Typically, an observation specified by an observer cannot be directly executed by an observatory. Observation specifications need to be configured so that they can be used by other components of the observatory. This paper motivates the need for configuration tools and describes a software architecture which supports configuring astronomical observations. ... This paper describes a system for preparing and configuring individual astronomical observations. ...
