Dear Colleagues, 

The target for Max Millenium Campaign #6 on 17-Mar-00 will be again be AR 
8906.  The co-ordinates are as follows. 

Target AR: 8906 on 17-Mar-00 at Yohkoh Pass 4 09:17 UT

 Heliographic Coordinates :   S 15.4   W 43.8
 SoHO X-Y                 :   (x,y) =  (643", -171")

Yohkoh SXT will track the brightest pixel in the AR, with a (5.'2 x 5.'2)
field of view.

Note that on 18-Mar-00 (Saturday) 07:45 UT Yohkoh SXT will return to its 
standard mode of operation in which it automatically points to the brightest 
region on the disk. This situation will continue until 20-Mar-00 (Monday) at
08:06 UT when pointed observations will resume. During the weekend,
observatories which can are asked to continue observing AR 8906 until it 
leaves the disk (theoretically the linear polarization signature varies with 
the angle between the LOS and the local normal, so we would like to see 
flares at a wide range of heliocentric positions). AR 8906 being currently 
the brightest AR on the disk, hopefully SXT will point there anyway.

The co-ordinates of AR 8096 during the weekend are

18-Mar-00 at 00:00 UT
 Heliographic Co-ordinates:  S 15.7   W 51.5
 SoHO X-Y                 :  (x,y) = (726", -188")

19-Mar-00 at 00:00 UT
 Heliographic Co-ordinates:  S 16.0   W 66.7
 SoHO X-Y                 :  (x,y) = (851", -219")  

Best wishes
