On September 15, 1998, the STScI director, Dr. Steven Beckwith, announced a special observation opportunity to the astronomical community during the Leonid Meteor Shower. During the peak of the Leonid meteor shower on November 17, 1998, HST will be pointed near the anti-radiant for ten hours. Anyone who is interested can submit ideas to STScI for scientific observations during this time. ... There are no HST observations in the archives for objects in this field. ...

... POLYNOM MAP NO | POLYNOM MAP2 NO 2 Changes The new distortion map is based in observations of the G153 eld. ... The previous map had been obtained by tting the measured o set (distorted position minus linear position, or detector minus sky positions) as a polynomial function of the linear (sky) position. ... Therefore what is needed is a function of the measured detector (distorted) position and this is how the new distortion map OM ASTROMET 0010 has been built. ...
