Main information

Info about the Zvenigorod Astrograph Photoobservation programs Astrograph Zeiss - 400/2000. It is established in Zvenigorod in 1972. Focus=200 sm. Since 1972 about 4500 negatives are received: 1) FON program (near 50 % of all collection). FON is the Photographic Serwey of the Sky, it was spent with 1980 to 1992 with the purpose of catalogue FOKAT creation. Completeness up to 16,5 star magnitudes. On declination from -2 up to +90 degrees. Under the program FON the plates was photograph with overlapping 50 % by each subsequent zone by previous. On our telescope of supervision all northern sky in the field of equatorial coordinates delta from-2 degrees up to +90. There were exceptions in winter zones: an alpha from 4 till 9 h and delta from -2 up to +25 degrees. And small for from 16 till 18 h also at low delta. The plates sizes is 30 on 30 sm, areas of the sky 8 on 8 degrees. 2)Programs Asteroids (near 30 % of a photograph collection). A plates with sizes 30x30, 15x15 and 9x12 sm was prepared. An areas of the sky was 2 on 3 degrees. The program was spent under IAU from 1980 till 90-th years include the subprogram of Photographic observation of 15 selected asteroids. 3)Pluton (4 % of a photograph collection, a plate size 9x12). Program was spent by V.P.Osipenko with the purpose of specification of Pluton orbit. 4)Comets (8 % of a photograph collection, 30x30 sm). Supervision of various comets of average brightness. For the different purposes, in particular Galleja and Hejla-Boppa comets under the international programs. 5)Radio sources identified with optical sources (8 %). Drawing up of the catalogue of basic stars around of 190 radiation sources. The coordinator of work was N.G.Rizvanov, from Kazan Observatory. V.P.Osipenko's observers near 60 % of all material and V.A.Jurevich - 35 %.
