CRF-S6 (Southern Hemisphere Astrometry) 2005 April 30 (DOY 120) Notes prepared by Alan Fey, U.S. Naval Observatory Schedule name: crfs6.skd Nominal Start: 18:00 U.T. on 2005 April 30 (DOY 120) first observation at 18:00 U.T. on 1611-710 Hh-Ti Nominal Stop: 18:00 U.T. on 2005 May 1 (DOY 121) last observation at 18:00 U.T. on 1519-294 Hh-Ti Correlator: WACO at Washington, DC Station Codes # of tapes # of scans Occupation Code HARTRAO J 0.9 319 TIDBIN64 T 0.9 319 Total number of observations (delay measurements): 319 Total number of scans in the schedule: 319 Purpose ======= Astrometric observations to strenghten the ICRF in the Southern Hemisphere. There are 38 new sources; the remainder are ICRF Defining or Candidate sources. 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) = 25.9 Min = 12.2 Max = 45.0 (Baseline Hh-Ti on 1055-301) RMS = 8.2 Total time: 1441 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
