I think the range of declination (the value you're concerned about extends
from -2 degrees to + 38 degrees....

There's no such thing as a right ascension greater than 24 hours --
note: not degrees! What you're seeing is due to an arithmetical bug
of some kind; subtract 24h to get the correct RA.

AFAICT the "search area" already includes pretty much all of the sky
that's available to the Arecibo dish, a band approximately extending
from the equator to 40�N declination. The data for S@h have mostly
been obtained in a 'piggyback' mode, with the pointing of the
instruments under the control of astronomers making observations for
quite unrelated purposes.

I goofed. What I meant to say is that the work unit I got had +37�
47'59" N *declination*. So far I haven't had anything above above 30� N.
I just remembered that somewhere on s@h site there is a map showing how
much of the sky is covered, I'll go and take a look.

Sorry, my bad.
