Allows you to specify a drift scan: motion at a constant velocity along a great circle. ... The path starts at the new object position (though the telescope actually intersects the path later, see Subtleties ). ... Note that the units are always /sec for both axes. ... The velocity along the path is 0.01 /sec. ... The path is assumed to start when you hit the Slew button (more precisely, when the TCC parses the command). However, it takes the telescope awhile to slew to meet the specified path. ...

... Crescent Moon Meets Evening Star . ... Stars and Dust Across Corona Australis . ... Cosmic dust clouds sprawl across a rich field of stars in this sweeping telescopic vista near the northern boundary of Corona Australis, the Southern Crown. Less than 500 light-years away the dust clouds effectively block light from more distant background stars in the Milky Way. ... Actually, given how close Gliese 1214b is to its parent star, any water, if it exists, would surely be in the form of steam. ...

During observation the target is placed at the aperture (PC1, WF2, WFALL, etc.) specified on the Phase II proposal. ... The POS TARG special requirement can be used when a position offset is needed. ... The exact directions of the offsets are parallel to the rows and columns of the CCD on which the aperture is specified. ... This is specified in the Phase II proposal using the ORIENT special requirement. ... Figure 7.9 shows the CCD orientation and aperture locations relative to the U3 axis. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...
