Description
1 microfiche (7, 5 unnumbered pages) : negative, illustrations; 11 x 15 cm.
Summary
"Improvements made in both resolution element size and sensitivity in EBSICON cameras are discussed. An up-to-date illustration of what an asteroid detection now looks like is provided. Shown are four phases during the realignment of the live (white) and reference (black) frames. As one passes through the sequence the stars' images overlap and become grey, while the displaced images of the asteroid do not cancel."--NTIS abstract.
