CRF-S7 (Southern Hemisphere Astrometry) 2005 July 17 (DOY 198) Notes prepared by Alan Fey, U.S. Naval Observatory Schedule name: crfs7.skd Nominal Start: 02:40 U.T. on 2005 July 17 (DOY 198) first observation at 02:40 U.T. on 2239-631 Hh-Ho-Ti Nominal Stop: 03:30 U.T. on 2005 July 18 (DOY 199) last observation at 03:27 U.T. on 0234-301 Hh-Ho-Ti Correlator: WACO at Washington, DC Station Codes # of tapes # of scans Occupation Code HARTRAO J 1.9 154 HOBART26 H 1.9 154 TIDBIN64 T 1.1 154 Total number of observations (delay measurements): 462 Total number of scans in the schedule: 154 Purpose ======= Astrometric observations to strenghten the ICRF in the Southern Hemisphere. There are 38 new sources; the remainder are ICRF Defining or Candidate sources. Schedule ======== This is a new schedule generated by Alan Fey using sked. Correlation =========== This experiment will be correlated at the WACO Correlator. Tapes should be shipped to Washington, DC as soon after the experiment as practical. Special procedures ================== None. Summary ======= The following listing is a summary of the observations in this schedule. Average number of obs. per baseline per source (normalized by up-time) = 9.8 Min = 2.0 Max = 21.4 (Baseline Hh-Ti on 1556-245) RMS = 5.2 Total time: 1491 minutes ( 24.9 hours).
