Question by Karimkhan: Can any one check and correct grammatical or any other errors?
have written Abstract on ” Telescope auto guiding system” project, please check and correct it and if possible then rewrite it.


How effectively the Research project works depends upon the accuracy of software and tools used in the project. Dr. Shashikiran Ganesh, Scientist at Physical research Laboratory doing his research work in the astronomy department of the space science. His research work depends on the hardware like Telescioe, CCD as well some software. And this project “Telescope Auto guiding System” is aimed to correct the error originating in the Telescope due to the unavailability of the Auto guiding facility in the Telescope, used for taking observation of galaxy and other objects at Infrared Telescope observatory, Mount Abu, behalf of the astronomy department of the Government of India. They are using various astronomical software for handling controlling and taking observations. Among them PixCel is one of astronomical digital imaging system. Which is used for acquiring, storing, processing the images and controlling CCD. The problem with current system is that while taking observation of the selected object, object is drifting from it’s position and continuously moving around it’s position. This might be due to mounting of telescope, gravitation force effect, physical structure. Due to this problem they are facing problem in taking observation of specific object for long time and getting errors in object position in consecutive image frame which effects their results.

This project is aimed to remove this problem. The software PixCel which is used right now is not accommodating the facility of auto guiding by which it can calculate the pixels moved by the telescope and then automatically guiding it to correct position. Due to that there is trouble in taking observation. The purpose behind this project was to accommodate auto guiding functionality in the present working software. In response to that I supposed to add do the auto guiding task for PixCel. For this purpose software needs to calibrate the number of pixels the Telescope moved in all directions before it starts observation, then after calibrating the extra movement of telescope placing it to right position. This auto guiding facility is going to be very useful achievement for astronomical observers at PRL.

This is more correct:

“How effectively the research project works depends upon the accuracy of the software and tools used in the project. Dr. Shashikiran Ganesh, a scientist doing research work in the astronomy department at the Physical Research Laboratory, depends on hardware like Telescioe and CCD, as well as some software.

It is used to observe galaxies and other objects at the Infrared Telescope Observatory, on Mount Abu, on the behalf of the Indian Government’s astronomy department. They are using various kinds of astronomical software for handling, controlling, and taking observations. Among them, PixCel is an astronomical digital imaging system used for acquiring, storing, and processing the images, and controlling CCD. The problem with the current system is that while taking observation of the selected object, the object is drifting from its position, continuously moving around. This might be due to the mounting of telescope, gravitation force effect, or its physical structure. Due to this problem they have had trouble taking observations of specific objects and make errors of object position in consecutive image frames for a long time, which affects their results.

This project is aimed to remove this problem. The software PixCel which we are using right now is not accommodating the facility of auto guiding by which it can calculate the pixels moved by the telescope, and then automatically guide it to the correct position. Due to the fact that there is trouble in taking observations, the purpose behind this project was to accommodate auto guiding functionality in the present working software. For this purpose, the software needs to calibrate the number of pixels the telescope moved in all directions before it begins its observations, then after calibrating the extra movement of telescope, place it to the right position. This auto guiding facility is going to be a very useful achievement for astronomical observers at PRL.”

I wasn’t sure what “In response to that I supposed to add do the auto guiding task for PixCel” means so I left it out of the last paragraph.
