                SXT CHIEF OBSERVER REPORT AND TABLE PLAN


SXT CHIEF OBSERVER'S REPORT for Week 43:   22-OCT-95 to 29-Oct-95

The highlights this week: the solar eclipse; spectacular FFI images of the
eclipse were recorded with 32 second cadence. The Chromospheric Activity
and Coronal Loops Campaign with Brigitte Schmieder (Meudon) ended on
23-Oct with good PFI observations of AR7918 that day.   

SOLAR ACTIVITY

The Sun was relatively quiet this week, with AR7917 and AR7918 becoming
less active during the week. 

SXT INSTRUMENT STATUS

SXT operation was stopped on Wednesday with SXT CTL MAN because of problems
with spacecraft pointing after the eclipse.  Observations were restarted on
Saturday 28-Oct (Pass 5) when ACS was recovered.  A standard ARS1 STD+LONG
table was loaded at that pass.  Normal pointing, however, had not been
achieved as a fixed southern offpoint of several arcminutes was
inadvertently introduced. 

CAMPAIGNS

This week the Chromospheric Activity and Coronal Loops campaign with
Brigitte Schmieder (Meudon) ended on 23-Oct with observations of AR7918
that day.

SEMINARS

There was no seminar this week.

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


Terminator-Offpointing:
   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.

Campaigns:

There will be no campaigns this week.
