000911 data



I'm slowly transferring images onto our anon ftp site
(the link through the firewall is really slow).  The
files are 16bit FITS, on directory
ftp://ftp.nofs.navy.mil/pub/outgoing/aah/tass
with filenames like
000911va.122
000911vb.122
...
000911va.123
000911vb.123
...
where 122 = right ascension strip number
a-h are the individual frames within that right
ascension strip, and 'v' indicates V-bandpass.
These frames are all dark subtracted, trimmed and flattened.
The Right Ascension for 122 is about 01:44, and
for 123 is about 02:16.  The declinations are probably
north of -8 degrees and south of +40 degrees.  Other than
that, you are on your own to find where the TASS camera
was pointed!
  The GRB was at 02:18:42 +07:48:30.  The frame that
should have covered that field is 000911ve.123, but I
couldn't identify the field.  I think the drive got
stuck at pretty high declination, but that is a guess.
The ftp process just finished 000911vb.123, taking
3 minutes per frame to transfer!  Something has changed
on our internal network, and I'll have to complain to
the sysadmin tomorrow.
  It is clear again tonight; I'll be taking a couple of
hours on CY Aqr before continuing the photometric survey.
  Richard C. has offered to identify these fields, but
I think the more brainpower the better.  It is kinda fun
to be using the BD charts after 30 years.  We don't even
own a Millenium atlas here, but that would be just about
ideal for the Mark IV.
