... The GHRS has the usual components of an astronomical spectrograph: entrance apertures, a collimator, dispersers, camera mirrors, and detectors. ... The collimator and camera mirrors are unexceptional and need no further description here (see ``The HST Focal Plane and the GHRS Apertures'' on page 73 for details). ... The first two first-order gratings, G140L and G140M, have their spectra imaged by mirror Cam-A onto detector D1, which is optimized for the shortest wavelengths. ...

... This task calibrates the telemetered RGS pixel energies. ... The calibration consists of three corrective procedures performed in sequence: offset correction, gain correction, and CTI correction. ... The offset correction can use static calibration data from the CCF (one value per CCD and node by each RGS), but also dynamic offset data derived from the diagnostic images can be used for subtraction. ... Using any diagnostic data for derivation of one value per CCD and node (parameter withoffset ). ...

. This diagram illustrates how the definition of a pixel depends on the users distance from the viewing surface (paper or screen). The image depicts the user looking at two planes, one 28 inches (71 cm) from the user, the second 140 inches (3.5 m) from the user. An expanding cone is projected from the user's eye onto each plane. Where the cone strikes the first plane, the projected pixel is .28 mm high. Where the cone strikes the second plane, the projected pixel is 1.4mm high. Return to image.

The ESO Very Large Telescope consists of an array of four 8-meter telescopes which can work independently or in combined mode. ... In such a mount the telescope tube moves around a horizontal axis called elevation axis. ... The telescope tube itself consists of a steel structure supporting at the bottom the primary mirror (M1) in its cell, and at the top the M2 Unit by means of metallic beams called "spiders". ... The VLT can operate in either Cassegrain, Nasmyth or Coud focus. ...

... They are concerned with Attitude Control System of the spacecraft, satellite visibility from tracking stations, limits on the satellite autonomous operations during the orbit, and needs for auxiliary operations with the spacecraft. ...

It seems that every time I try to correct for a pointing error, I have to figure out the sign of the pointing error as reported by the various routines. The pointing error is computed using the heiles calibration scans and by using the turret scans. ... The center of the pattern is the "computed" position of the source using the ra,dec transformation to az,za and any current pointing model. ... X0, Y0 are reported as the error. ... So for turret scans, Add the az,za error to the pointing model. ...
