· Received, scanned and archived the last available POSSII N plate.
· (OATo) Developing the jacket and face print for the gsc2m CD-rom. Duplication is scheduled for mid August.
·
·
Volpicelli completed writing a C++ program and
Perl scripts to move data between the Objectivity and SQLserver. Also installed an IIS web server for testing
web user access.
·
Greene continued to support NVO activities.
· Reviewed 15 new Guide Star Problem Reports (GSPRs) this period. Nine of these were fine lock failures. Five other problems were loss-of-lock problems, and the remaining GSPR was a false lock. In five of these six cases, the GS was fainter than expected. Filed a Bad GS Alert for each of the GSs.
·
Continuing the
· Updating the keywords of the header files.
· Continued discussions with possible implementation of FASST/Share recommendations about improving HST astrometry using GSC-II. Met with CADC staff to discuss astrometry of WFC Associations
· Continued scanning the POSS-I O (blue) survey plates on GAMMA1.
· Received and scanned the last available POSSII N plate, one of the four North Pole plates.
·
The last major shipment of plates is in transit
from ROE. It contains 32 southern UKST
IR plates and 14 northern IR (N) plates taken with the UK Schmidt Telescope in
· Performed repairs on GAMMA2. The work centered on communications between the console and the servo box. Restored communications and performed two test scans. Analysis of the second test showed that the scan contained unacceptable shearing between passes and more adjustments will be necessary to bring the machine back into production.
· GAMMA1 suffered a mechanical failure in the x-actuator mechanism. Investigation showed that several other parts required replacement, including thrust bearings, metal strips, and brakes. After the replacements were made, test scan analysis showed that further routine adjustments were required. Made these adjustments and started a production scan August 1.

· Continued development of a program that will access the current GSC2 database and obtain information needed to create MCO files. The MCO files will then be FTPed to a VMS system for reprocessing by existing GSC2 software.
· Resolved a conflict between the use of namespaces in C++ and existing Objectivity database code.
· Solved an inventory problem of an infrared plate with a massive airplane trail by masking out the trail.
