Extract

Since the Molonglo cross-type radio telescope was completed in 1967 July, a considerable proportion of the observing time has been taken with calibrating the pointing of the north-south arm. In a current programme the aim is to obtain accurate positions for sources contained in the flux density catalogue recently prepared by Wyllie. This will provide a uniform set of several hundred positions and flux density calibrators covering the +20° to −90° declination range observable at the Molonglo Observatory.
