A standard path needs to be established for this file. Observers who use different observatories may need to keep files for two or more observatories. <P> Each observatory file should contain a C*72 descriptor <B>OBSERVATORY</B> that contains the name of the observatory, preferably as it is given in [<A HREF="node649.html#H91">6</A>]. If effect, this descriptor takes the place of the standard descriptor <B>IDENT</B> in *.bdf files. <P> Each individual focus of each telescope has a single row in this table. The duplication of most information for the telescope itself is not a problem, as this will be a short file in any case. Each column described below should be present in the table, although some columns do not apply to some individual instruments, and will contain null entries. <P> Each column label can be a standard FITS keyword, if an appropriate one is available. The following sections describe the columns of the table in detail (cf. Table <A HREF="node573.html#tbl:tel-tbl">I.3</A>). <P> <BR><HR> <!--Table of Child-Links--> <A NAME="CHILD_LINKS"> </A> <UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html8627" HREF="node570.html">Column label: TELESCOP</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html8628" HREF="node571.html">Column label: DIAM</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html8629" HREF="node572.html">Column label: LON</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html8630" HREF="node573.html">Column label: LAT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html8631" HREF="node574.html">Column label: HEIGHT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html8632" HREF="node575.html">Column label: TUBETYPE</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html8633" HREF="node576.html">Column label: TUBEDIAM</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html8634" HREF="node577.html">Column label: TUBELEN</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html8635" HREF="node578.html">Column label: DOMETYPE</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html8636" HREF="node579.html">Column label: DOMEDIAM</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html8637" HREF="node580.html">Column label: SLITWID</A> </UL> <!--End of Table of Child-Links--> <HR> <!--Navigation Panel--> <A NAME="tex2html8625" HREF="node570.html"> <IMG WIDTH="37" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="next" SRC="icons.gif/next_motif.gif"></A> <A NAME="tex2html8622" HREF="node547.html"> <IMG WIDTH="26" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="up" SRC="icons.gif/up_motif.gif"></A> <A NAME="tex2html8616" HREF="node568.html"> <IMG WIDTH="63" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="previous" SRC="icons.gif/previous_motif.gif"></A> <A NAME="tex2html8624" HREF="node1.html"> <IMG WIDTH="65" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="contents" SRC="icons.gif/contents_motif.gif"></A> <BR> <B> Next:</B> <A NAME="tex2html8626" HREF="node570.html">Column label: TELESCOP</A> <B> Up:</B> <A NAME="tex2html8623" HREF="node547.html">File Formats Required for</A> <B> Previous:</B> <A NAME="tex2html8617" HREF="node568.html">MJD column</A> <!--End of Navigation Panel--> <ADDRESS> <I>Petra Nass</I> <BR><I>1999-06-15</I> </ADDRESS> </BODY> </HTML>
