... Occasionally, one finds an ephemeris given with Julian Dates as argument. Only the Modified Julian Date is used here. ... Modified Julian Dates are discussed further in section on data files. ... If the tabular positions are referred to the equator and equinox of date, as in some of the tables in the Astronomical Almanac , the EQUINOX column can be omitted. ... In general, ephemeris data for moving objects should be kept in table files separate from star-position files. ...

The vertex software has encoder corrections that can be interactively modified via the ocu or lcu interface. ... When adding a correction, the display position includes the correction. Preset mode works fine with the correction (eg. start at 270, add correction=1deg, display reads 271, preset to 270 moves the telescope be 1 degree). I think that program track mode works differently with the offsets.. mainly because we had an offset of 1 degree for 5 months and we could still see sources. ...

In the report, we will discuss the value distribution of the modified Mellin transform of the square of the Riemann zeta-function introduced and studied by A.Ivic, M.Jutila and Y.Motohashi. We will recall its analytical properties as well as some estimates and mean square estimates. After this, we will state continuous and discrete limit theorems in the sense of weak convergence of probability measures on the complex plane and in the space of meromorphic functions for this transform. ...
