... The process of proposing for Hubble Space Telescope observing time has been revised, to make it simpler for proposers. We describe the simple, flexible, and robust prototype system created to handle proposal submission. ... Proposing for Hubble Space Telescope ( HST ) observing time proceeds in two phases: the scientific merits of the proposal are considered in Phase I; only accepted proposals enter Phase II, where the observations are described in complete detail. ...

Pointing grid pattern: In a mosaic experiment, you observe a number of pointings - possibly a few to several hundred, depending on the size of the source of interest. ... For a well-illuminated dish, this spacing corresponds roughly to half-power point spacing between field centres. ... Field Naming Convention: When preparing the observe files for an ATCA mosaic experiment, you will create a `mosaic file'. ...
