... It is not always easy to identify ``the'' time of an observation. Some instruments record the time at which the observation began; some record the end of the measurement, or even the time at which the readout was recorded; very few record the middle of the exposure. The ESO Archive records the starting time of the observation, recorded in a FITS-header keyword named MJD-OBS . ... In any case we would need this information for weighting purposes. ...
