A COMPREHENSIVE ZENITH CAMERA DATA REDUCTION PROGRAM FOR THE CDC 1604 B COMPUTER IN FORTRAN LANGUAGE.

Abstract

A data reduction program for the zenith camera designed by Autometric Operation Division of Raytheon is presented. The reduction program is written in FORTRAN language compatible to the CDC 1604B computer. The reduction includes the solution for the mean and apparent places of updated stars, the tangential solution, and the error analysis. The tangential solution eliminates the effects of radial lens distortion and atmospheric refraction. Flow diagrams, FORTRAN source program, data formats, and the load sequence are presented. An example of the data formats for a sample computation is included in the report. (Author)
