CRDS-54 (Southern Hemisphere Astrometry) 2011 October 5 (DOY 278) Notes prepared by Alan Fey, U.S. Naval Observatory Schedule name: crds54.skd Nominal Start: 18:00 U.T. on 2011 October 5 (DOY 278) first observation at 18:00 U.T. on 2357-318 Hh-Hb-Ke-Yg Duration: 24 hours Nominal Stop: 18:00 U.T. on 2011 October 6 (DOY 279) last observation at 17:19 U.T. on 2357-318 Hh-Hb-Ke-Yg Correlator: WACO at Washington, DC Station Codes # of tapes # of obs Occupation Code HARTRAO J 116 HOBART12 116 KATH12M 116 YARRA12M 116 Total number of observations (delay measurements): 696 Total number of scans in the schedule: 116 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) = 7.6 Min = 2.0 Max = 27.7 (Baseline Hh-Ke on 1034-374) RMS = 4.3 Total time: 1433 minutes ( 23.9 hours).
