... Iowa Robotic Telescope | ... Talon is based on OCAAS, a software suite developed by software engineer Elwood Downey ( Clear Sky Institute ) for use at the University of Iowa ?s first remote facility (the ATF, or Automated Telescope Facility). ... XObservatory : Telescope Control Interface . ... This program calls upon and coordinates much of the interrelated portions of the Talon architecture, and forms the primary control panel for the telescope, dome, and peripheral systems when used locally. ...

... This is possible at modest cost due to the low moments of inertia of the telescope and enclosure. ... This same performance will be achieved in higher winds when the telescope enclosure is facing away from the wind, or by using wind screens. ... The telescope system (MILT) will be remotely operable with an on-site operator's assistance by an astronomer located at one of the ARC member institutions. ... Mean Wind Speed . ... Offsets > 10 deg: 1 arc sec rms max . ... 5 sec max, tracking to tracking . ...

... In addition, IZMIRAN comprises the St.Petersburg branch and magnetic ionospheric observatory in Kaliningrad. The history of IZMIRAN is largely that of investigating magnetic storms and sub-storms on the Earth surface, in circum-terrestrial and interplanetary space, initially by means of a network of ground stations of the Soviet Union (1930s - 1940s) and the nonmagnetic skunner "Zarja", then through the extensive use of magnetic measurements on artificial Earth satellites and automatic stations. ...

... Special problems arise with filters intended to measure red leaks in blue and ultraviolet filters. ... The column named REDLEAK contains an 8-character string that specifies the treatment of red leaks in short-wavelength filters. Possible values are 'MEASURED' if the red leak is measured by observations through a filter that isolates the leak; 'BLOCKED' if a copper-sulfate or other blocking filter is used; or 'IGNORED' if the leak is neither measured nor blocked. ...
