Greenwich sidereal time: 2: 9: 0.00 (17: 0: 0 UT) Sun's RA and DEC: 21h 24.0m -15d 15.7 =========================================================== Important Station Information Hobart-12m and Warkworth did not pick up any observations when the two stations were tagged along. So, the two stations were removed from the newtwork. =========================================================== There are no observations for Kokee and Wettzell from 18:15 U.T. to 19:45 U.T. Kokee and Wettzell will participate in the intensive session during this period. =========================================================== First observations Source Start DURATIONS name yyddd-hhmmss Kk Ny Tc Ts Wf Wz Zc 1803+784 11038-170000| 43 43 43 43 43 43| 1308+328 11038-170145| 102 102 43 | 3C446 11038-170227| 45 45 43 | =========================================================== Last observations Source Start DURATIONS name yyddd-hhmmss Kk Ny Tc Ts Wf Wz Zc 1622-253 11039-164831| 496 496 | 0808+019 11039-164844| 43 43 43| 0716+714 11039-165204| 66 43 66 51 43| 3C418 11039-165454| 61 61 52 43| 2113+293 11039-165702| 112 112 73 | 1144-379 11039-165742| 43 43 | 1244-255 11039-165901| 46 46 | =========================================================== SKED Summary from file ./r1469.skd for experiment R1469 (all scans with at least one subnet station) Average number of obs. per baseline per source(normalized by up-time) = 8.4 Min = 0.0 Max = 59.7 (Baseline Kk-Tc on 0537-441) RMS = 12.1 Total time: 1440 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
