CRF-68 (Southern Hemisphere Astrometry) 2012 May 15 (DOY 136) Notes prepared by Alan Fey, U.S. Naval Observatory Schedule name: crf68.skd Nominal Start: 17:30 U.T. on 2012 May 15 (DOY 136) first observation at 17:30 U.T. on 2126-158 13-Kk-Ts Duration: 24 hours Nominal Stop: 17:30 U.T. on 2012 May 16 (DOY 137) last observation at 17:31 U.T. on 2126-158 13-Kk-Ts Correlator: WACO at Washington, DC Station Codes # of tapes # of scans Occupation Code DSS13 203 KOKEE 511 TSUKUB32 511 Total number of observations (delay measurements): 917 Total number of scans in the schedule: 511 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 ================== N/A 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) = 31.9 Min = 0.0 Max = 77.8 (Baseline 13-Ts on 1034-293) RMS = 18.8 Total time: 1444 minutes ( 24.1 hours).
