Abstract:
We present astrometric and photometric measurements from a sequence of 1.0-second exposures taken with a 2.5-second cadence using the DARPA Space Surveillance Telescope (SST). These science observations were taken to search for rapid fluctuations from transient events. Details of the SST will be presented, and preliminary evaluations of SST differential accuracy will be discussed.
