CRF-72 (Southern Hemisphere Astrometry) 2012 December 19 (DOY 354) Notes prepared by Alan Fey, U.S. Naval Observatory Schedule name: crf72.skd Nominal Start: 17:30 U.T. on 2012 December 19 (DOY 354) first observation at 17:30 U.T. on 1213-172 13-Kk-Ts Duration: 24 hours Nominal Stop: 17:30 U.T. on 2012 December 20 (DOY 355) last observation at 17:29 U.T. on 1243-072 13-Kk-Ts Correlator: WACO at Washington, DC Station Codes # of tapes # of scans Occupation Code DSS13 264 KOKEE 362 TSUKUB32 193 Total number of observations (delay measurements): 552 Total number of scans in the schedule: 362 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) = 20.7 Min = 0.0 Max = 55.4 (Baseline 13-Ts on 0646-306) RMS = 9.6 Total time: 1443 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
