Describes how funtools can be integrated into the ds9 Analysis menu. SAOImage/DS9 is an astronomical imaging and data visualization application used by astronomers around the world. DS9 can display standard astronomical FITS images and binary tables, but also has support for displaying raw array files, shared memory files, and data files automatically retrieved via FTP and HTTP. ... It can be manually loaded into DS9 from the Load Analysis Commands ... option of the Analysis menu. ...

PREDICTING A FINE DISPLAY OF LEONID METEORS . Armagh Observatory, 8 November 1999: . According to calculations by Armagh Observatory astronomer Dr David Asher, the Leonid meteor shower is expected to reach a peak during the early hours of 18th November, with a rate of more than 1000 shooting stars per hour for up to an hour or two either side of 02:00 am. These meteors are produced by dust grains given off by comet Tempel-Tuttle as it orbits the Sun once every 33 years. ...
