Roughly 60 positions were obtained with accuracies on the order of 1 arcminute or less.

The arcminute and arcsecond are also used in astronomy.

"Normal" vision is when someone can distinguish detail at 1/60 of a degree (an arcminute)

One arcminute is thus written 1'.

It measures 7 arcminutes by 1 arcminute.

An arcminute is an angular measurement, which is equal to 1/60 of one degree of a circle.

It contains a bright knot, IC 349, about half an arcminute wide near Merope.

A large nebula at over one arcminute in diameter, it appears very close to the globular cluster NGC 6440.

The telescope was designed to give high quality images over a 16 arcminute field of view (about half the apparent diameter of the Sun or Moon).

Another dim dust lane on the east side of the 12 arcminute by 15 arcminute galaxy is also visible.

The modern marksman rifle and sniper rifle are usually capable of accuracy better than 0.3 mrad at 100 yards (1 arcminute).

It has 1 direct and 4 side Cassegrain ports with an uncorrected field of view (direct) of 6 arcminute radius.

The eight antennas have now become the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager Large Array.

The pointing accuracy was 1 arcminute with stability less than 5 arcsec per sec and jitter radius of 10 arcsec.

For that, the mission is creating a full-sky map of the CMB, with a 13 arcminute resolution via multi-frequency observation.

A sixteenth magnitude star is one arcminute away, while the thirteenth magnitude star D is two arcminutes away from the system.

The random noise is two arc minutes or more nearly one arcminute if rounding is taken into account which approximately agrees with the sharpness of the eye.

The arcminute is commonly found in the firearms industry and literature, particularly concerning the accuracy of rifles, though the industry refers to it as minute of angle.

M103 can be seen as a nebulous fan-shaped patch, and optically is about a 6 arcminute circle, or about a fifth the diameter of the full moon.

With a larger instrument, individual stars can be resolved and the cluster will cover an angle of up to 12 arcminutes across with a compressed core one arcminute wide.

The Arcminute Microkelvin Imager (AMI)

The catalogue includes essentially all galaxies north of declination -02 30' and to a limiting diameter of 1.0 arcminute or to a limiting apparent magnitude of 14.5.

There is also a secondary focal station, the f/15 Cassegrain focus, which possesses a 20 arcminute field of view and is the mount point for the IDS.

From his findings and the work of others over the last hundred years, one arcminute is seen as the threshold beyond which critical detail cannot be identified, by a person with normal vision.
