· Conducted several tours of Plate Vault and Scanning facilities
·
Planning visits to STScI by Drimmel
(June), Lattanzi/Bucciarelli (July/August) and Spagna/Carollo (September/October)
· Due to insufficient EMC disk space for image archive migration, we are investigating alternative with CPT
· Received another request to scan “staff research plates” – this is in support of an approved HST cycle 12 program. On hold till after survey plates completed.
· Investigated 18 bad guide star alerts. Continued to develop software to update the keywords of the header files.
·
GSC2 Query code with ra,dec
limits delivered to ESS for integration into NGSS
·
See NVO report
· The LAST UKSTU N plates were finally received and scanned.
· Continued scanning the POSS-I O (blue) survey plates.
· GAMMA1 replacement A/D converter has received. Downtime expected to be another 4-6 weeks. Scanning continuing on GAMMA2.
Calibrations
· Relatively high object matching failure rate with new version of GSPC2 is under investigation.
· Loomis and Carollo observed with the La Palma JKT telescope for GSPC2 (Apr 4-13)
· Garcia observed with ESO telescope at CTIO for GSCP2 (Apr 3-5)
· Initial proper motion tests were completed by OATo. It appears that the currently implemented technique provide sufficient precision to support HST operations. It has been decided to defer an implementation of the more accurate technique to a future release.
