CRDS-46 (Southern Hemisphere Astrometry) 2008 May 6 (DOY 127) Notes prepared by Alan Fey, U.S. Naval Observatory Schedule name: crds46.skd Nominal Start: 17:30 U.T. on 2008 May 6 (DOY 127) first observation at 17:30 U.T. on 0454-810 Hh-Ho Duration: 24 hours Nominal Stop: 17:30 U.T. on 2008 May 7 (DOY 128) last observation at 17:27 U.T. on 1448-648 Hh-Ho Correlator: WACO at Washington, DC Station Codes # of tapes # of obs Occupation Code DSS45 T 1.0 294 HARTRAO J 1.0 294 Total number of observations (delay measurements): 294 Total number of scans in the schedule: 294 Purpose ======= Astrometric observations to strenghten the ICRF in the Southern Hemisphere. 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) = 23.3 Min = 16.3 Max = 32.5 (Baseline 45-Hh on 1012-448) RMS = 4.0 Total time: 1439 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
