                SXT CHIEF OBSERVER REPORT AND TABLE PLAN


SXT CHIEF OBSERVER'S REPORT for Week 39:  25-SEP-95 to 1-Oct-95

This was a relatively simple week, operationally, for SXT.  Nariaki Nitta
completed his duties as SXT Chief Observer and departed for California. 


SOLAR ACTIVITY

Solar activity was relatively low for the entire week.  There was a B9.3
flare on 25-Sep-95, but the rise phase and peak occurred during Yohkoh
night. 


SXT INSTRUMENT STATUS

The SXT was in fine working order.


CAMPAIGNS

There were no campaigns this week.  Since Mees was down for maintenance
last week, there were no specific filament watch campaigns. 

SEMINARS

There was no Yohkoh seminar this week.


Serge Savy arrived at ISAS and has joined the SXT team.  Serge will
reside at ISAS and is already beginning to learn how to be an SXT
Chief Observer.  Serge did his post-graduate work at MSSL with Prof
Len Culhane.  Serge is in the process of finishing his Ph.D. thesis
which he will defend early next year.
 

                       SXT TABLE PLAN FOR WEEK 40
                        (2-Oct-95 to 7-OCT-95)

Our plan this week will be to mainly do SXT table uploads to cycle
through the terminator images.  Please assume that we will do these
in the normal pointing position unless otherwise noted.

The SXT Table Plan for the week is as follows:

    KSC Time (start) in JST     Pass    Table ID        Comments
_____________(= UT + 9 hrs)______#_______________________________

Monday      2-Oct-95  22:46      3      951002 P3 ARS1 STD+LONG
Tuesday     3-Oct-95  21:22	 2	951003 P2 ARS1 DKCAL
Wednesday   4-Oct-95  19:58      2      951004 P2 ARS1 STD+LONG
Thursday    5-Oct-95  20:17      2      951005 P2 ARS1 STD+LONG
Friday      6-Oct-95  20:37      3      951006 P3 ARS1 STD+LONG

/// KSC and SSOC TOHBAN PLEASE NOTE:      \\\
\\\ THIS TABLE PLAN IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. ///

No table load is planned for Saturday, since there are only two KSC
contacts.  However, we may request a table load if solar conditions warrant
a new observing sequence. 

Terminator-Offpointing:
   We plan to do offpoint observations regularly.  So offpoint 
terminator images have to be taken as before.  We continue to ask 
SSOC tohbans to manually insert the off-point OG's for the terminators 
in the OP tables. SSOC TOHBAN, 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 tohban 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.
