New England observer Lew Gramer, fresh back from his mid-November fish observing and meteor-catching expedition in South Florida, reports that December also promises to be a great month for celestial sky-sparks!" ... Other showers adding to the mix this month include several very minor showers, such as the Chi Orionids (3 Dec), Monocerotids (9 Dec) and Sigma Hydrids (12 Dec), which usually contribute no more than 2 or 3 meteors per hour during even post-midnight observing this month. ...

... The choice of the spectrograph design (Fig.2) is determined by the quantity R, the overall dimensions of the PF cage and the restrictions on the rigidity of the structure of the device. ... As the camera's objective a fast 4-lens aplanat is used having a focal distance F cam =140 mm and a relative aperture of 1:1.8, the resolution at the centre is no less than 80 gr/mm, that over the field at a distance of 3 mm from the edge along the frame ( ) diagonal is 35 gr/mm. ...

... For queued observations, the nightly scheduling will be performed by sta# astronomers using an Operational Toolkit. ... The toolkit will make all observation preparation data available to the oper­ ator, and will allow the definition of queues and timelines of Observation Blocks (OBs). ... The operations team then uses the Operational Toolkit to browse the repos­ itory and build queues, based on object visibility, expected observing conditions, and user­defined scheduling constraints. ...
