CRF-79 (Southern Hemisphere Astrometry) 2013 December 3 (DOY 337) Notes prepared by Alan Fey, U.S. Naval Observatory Schedule name: crf79.skd Nominal Start: 17:30 U.T. on 2013 December 3 (DOY 337) first observation at 17:30 U.T. on 1424-418 Hb- -Kk- first observation at 17:38 U.T. on 1013+054 Hb-Ke-Kk-Yg Duration: 24 hours Nominal Stop: 17:30 U.T. on 2013 December 4 (DOY 338) last observation at 17:23 U.T. on 1130+009 Hb-Ke-Kk-Yg Correlator: WACO at Washington, DC Station Codes # of tapes # of scans Occupation Code HOBART12 183 KATH12M 128 KOKEE 183 YARRA12M 100 Total number of observations (delay measurements): 729 Total number of scans in the schedule: 185 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) = 8.5 Min = 1.7 Max = 23.4 (Baseline Hb-Kk on 0104-408) RMS = 4.7 Total time: 1441 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
