                SXT CHIEF OBSERVER REPORT AND TABLE PLAN

                       SXT TABLE PLAN FOR WEEK 26
                       (25-JUN-95 to  01-JUL-95)

This week we will do continue to hunt for filaments, depending on solar 
activity and carry out some long exposures of the quiet corona.
When a bright region appears, we may simply run a standard table.


The observing objectives of this plan are:
   - Dark Calibration on Monday.
   - The filament campaign with Mees Observatory.
   - Quiet Corona observations.
   - Take offpoint terminator images.

The SXT Table Plan for the week is as follows.  PLEASE REMEMBER THAT
THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. [If there is no prominent filament all
filament tables will change to ARS1 standard tables]. 

The date in the table ID reflects the UT date of the first pass.

********************** KSC HOLIDAY ***************************


Terminator-Offpointing:
   The terminator-offpointing program will continue this week.  The 
SSOC tohbans are required to manually insert the off-point OGs for the 
terminators in the OP tables.  The SSOC tohbans, please fax the 
preliminary OP list to D-tou when it contains a terminator so that the 
Chief Observer can suggest which OG's to be used.  

Dumping Patrol images:
   We request that KSC tobans continue to dump a patrol image each time an 
SXT table is loaded to facilitate the study of optimizing ARS parameters 
for an awfully quiet period.

SXT CHIEF OBSERVER'S REPORT for Week 25:  18-JUN-95 to 24-JUN-95

No campaigns this week other than the current mode of filament observations.
  

SXT INSTRUMENT STATUS

The SXT has been operating without major problem.  


FILAMENT OBSERVATIONS

We monitored a small filament lying to the north of AR7882.  This 
eventually faded from the H-alpha and He 10830 data with no apparent
sign of eruption.

UPCOMING CAMPAIGN

Spartan 201-03 is scheduled for launch on 30 July, followed by deployment
24.5 hours later.  It will observe solar corona for 43.5 hours.  I reminded
the UV team of the availability of SXT daily images at CRL, but we will be
contacted for more coordination.
