. A star time is an astronomic time counting where the day and the night duration is equal to the period of the Earth rotation around its axis relatively to the system of stable stars. 24 star hours are equal to 23 hours 56 min. 4,091 sec. of the medium solar time . A star time at the given moment is equal to the hour angle of the vernal equinox point in the place of observation. Back .

Pulkovo NEO Page . ... NEA Accuracy Estimation . ... The estimation of accuracy of the current CCD observations of asteroids and comets is constantly performed at Pulkovo Observatory. ... The (O-C) values, so called "Observed" minus "Calculated" positions, characterize numerically the observations of any observatory, both professional and amateur, during a short period (one or several close nights). ... So the (O-C) values for these objects nearly entirely define the errors of observations. ...

... Maxim was one of the leading analysts of Russia space activities, those who set the basis for the open independent analysis of then-Soviet space program. q In the early 1990s the small blue paperback book became a real breakthrough.

I believe that to open Maxim's files and archives for the experts and Russian space program enthusiasts would be a best thing we can do in memoriam. ...
