The Discovery of the Galilean Satellites . ... Probably the most significent contribution that Galileo Galilei made to science was the discovery of the four satellites around Jupiter that are now named in his honor. Galileo first observed the moons of Jupiter on January 7, 1610 through a homemade telescope. He originally thought he saw three stars near Jupiter, strung out in a line through the planet. ...

... The two astrometry modes of the FGS are POSITION mode and TRANSFER mode. An FGS in POSITION mode acquires an object in FineLock and tracks it for an extended period of time. An FGS in TRANSFER mode acquires an object and scans the IFOV back and forth along a 45њ diagonal path in detector space to sample the interference pattern fully enough to construct an S-curve. POSITION mode observing with the FGS can determine the parallax, proper motion, and/or reflex motion of a given object. ...

... The procedure simply observes ON your source for x minutes and then takes a `blank sky' observation OFF your source for the same amount of time and tracking the same azimuth and zenith angle range. ... Typically, observing times are kept to within 5 minutes (with 5 minutes as the most efficient, and therefore default, choice). ... If your scans are for 5 minutes or less, your wait time should be set to 1 minute (the default setting). ... A 5 minute ON/OFF + 10s CAL takes 11.3 minutes. ...
