General Information . ... The conference is organized by the Sternberg Astronomical Institute (SAI) of Moscow University and the IAU Working group "Site-testing Instruments" . ... Use of site data in telescope operation and adaptive optics. ... Recent conferences on this subject (2007, 2008) demonstrated great interest of the community, hence the need for a new meeting. ... Unlike previous recent conferences, this meeting will cover all aspects of site monitoring for optical/IR astronomy. ...

Next: In-Line Documentation Up: Program Development Previous: Program Development . ... Though you should program in standard FORTRAN, two extensions will generally be needed by the programmer. Firstly Miriad uses both upper and lower case character strings (Fortran-77 strictly supports only upper case characters. ... Secondly Miriad tasks should use the maxdim.h include file where appropriate. ... Next: In-Line Documentation Up: Program Development Previous: Program Development Miriad manager . ...

Next: Photometry Up: Regions and Source Parameters Previous: *imcnts* - Find counts . This task (developed for use with optical images, but also useful with x-ray data) will quickly compute location, size, ellipticity, and position angle of sources. ... User can generate contour plots of any portion of the image and count rates in slices through the image. The program is advertised as ``quick [optical] photometry''. input file: rp110590_im1.imh . output file: logfile . ... Photometry . ...

... How to ingest general/static calibration files . How to change names of already ingested calibration files . General or static calibration files are usually delivered together with a pipeline installation. ... For safety: copy all general/static calibration files into e.g. $DFO_CAL_DIR/gen_newnames and work there . ... Fix header keywords : use modhead and/or replacekey and verify with dfits . ... Hint when using modhead . ... Rename : use renameProducts to create new names . ...

... The generalized aperture program is designed to simulate the effects on the incident photon stream of physical obstructions, such as thermal baffles and pre- and post-collimators. ... The philosophy behind the aperture program is that a geometrically complicated aperture may be modeled by a combination of geometrically simpler apertures. ... The generalized aperture program takes a list of assemblies and apertures created by the front end, and compares each input photon to the apertures, in turn. ...

... For given geographical longitude and time zone show the current data and time, Universal data and time, current local star time. ... Accept 10 different data formats (data&time, data with decimal day of month, data with decimal day of year, decimal year, some Julian dates), calculate from any formate to others, show day of week. Current data and time direct insertion function is exists. ... Calculate angular distance between two points at the sky by its equatorial coordinates. ...
