Automatic Detection of NEOs in CCD Frames . ... CCD frames obtained with modern telescopes with robotic operation allow carrying out standard observation programs for detection of peculiar objects on stellar backgrounds, as is the case of Near Earth Objects (NEOs). ... In this paper, we present original algorithms for automatically detecting dim NEO images in telescope frames, considering both sidereal and differential tracking [2]. ...

This image shows where NASA's Curiosity rover aimed two different instruments to study a rock known as "Jake Matijevic." The red dots are where the Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) instrument zapped it with its laser September 21, 2012, and September24, 2012, which were the 45th and 48th sol, or martian day of operations. The circular black and white images were taken by ChemCam to look for the pits produced by the laser. ...

XmTel is intended for interactive remote telescope operation. ... The command set provides for several basic functions that enable slewing, pointing, fine guiding, and control of the telescope focus, reticle, and fans. ... XmTel is actively being used and developed with the Celestron Corrected Dall-Kirkham C20 telescope. ...

... Since GCVS IV, there was no new GCVS edition. ... Main reasons for the automatic-survey new variables remaining outside the GCVS for a long time:  different level of detail of the classification systems, no perfect software for automatic classification available;  individual approach to each star that was always used in the GCVS cannot be applied any longer, but the experience of automatically- updated catalogs evidences for the number of errors ...
