CRDS-43 (Southern Hemisphere Astrometry) 2008 February 18 (DOY 049) Notes prepared by Alan Fey, U.S. Naval Observatory Schedule name: crds43.skd Nominal Start: 15:00 U.T. on 2008 February 18 (DOY 049) first observation at 15:00 U.T. on 2146-783 Hh-Ho Duration: 24 hours Nominal Stop: 15:00 U.T. on 2008 February 19 (DOY 050) last observation at 14:55 U.T. on 0506-612 Hh-Ho Correlator: WACO at Washington, DC Station Codes # of tapes # of obs Occupation Code HARTRAO J 1.8 150 HOBART26 H 1.8 150 Total number of observations (delay measurements): 150 Total number of scans in the schedule: 150 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) = 12.3 Min = 10.2 Max = 18.8 (Baseline Hh-Ho on 2333-415) RMS = 2.8 Total time: 1442 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
