INT/JKT - Transferring Catalog files from VAXes to TCS
Gary Mitchell 09-APR-1997

Observers should make up a catalog of their targets before their run and transfer it first to a VAX on La Palma. This can be done by e-mail or ftp. The catalog must be in the format

SO xxxx R hh mm ss.s D dd mm ss EQ Beeee

The format is described in more detail in the telescope manuals. Observers may prefer to divide their targets into several catalogs.

The TCS for the JKT is in the room opposite the front door. The TCS for the INT is in the "Clip Centre" one floor down from the control room. The TCS for the INT and JKT each have a single exabyte drive.
