CRF-71 (Southern Hemisphere Astrometry) 2012 October 17 (DOY 291) Notes prepared by Alan Fey, U.S. Naval Observatory Schedule name: crf71.skd Nominal Start: 18:00 U.T. on 2012 October 17 (DOY 291) first observation at 18:00 U.T. on 0808+019 13-Kk-Ts Duration: 24 hours Nominal Stop: 18:00 U.T. on 2012 October 18 (DOY 292) last observation at 17:59 U.T. on 0854-108 13-Kk-Ts Correlator: WACO at Washington, DC Station Codes # of tapes # of scans Occupation Code DSS13 253 KOKEE 428 TSUKUB32 280 Total number of observations (delay measurements): 638 Total number of scans in the schedule: 428 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) = 24.8 Min = 0.0 Max = 80.0 (Baseline 13-Ts on 2357-318) RMS = 12.4 Total time: 1442 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
