                       SXT TABLE PLAN FOR WEEK 46
                        (11-Nov-96 to 17-Nov-96)

This week Nariaki Nitta takes over as chief observer.  We will have two
sets of coordinated observations.  One is to observe CME launch as the
target of SoHO JOP 3.  Another is to observe the quiet Sun in coordination
with SERTS, although its launch (13-Nov-96 18:30 UT) will not be during 
a Yohkoh daylight interval. 
 
A dark calibration table will be loaded on Monday, and the weekly
diffusers included as part of a standard table on Thursday.  All
terminator opportunities will be used but no terminator offpoints will be
required. 

Please note that the KSC pass ID and the SXT Table ID sometimes show
different dates because of the JST/UT problem at this time.

Continuing requests:

We request that KSC tohbans continue to dump a patrol image each time an
SXT table is loaded to facilitate the study of optimizing ARS parameters
during quiet times. 

SSOC TOHBAN, please e-mail any terminator schedule to the chief observer
(sxt_co@isass0) so that he can decide about filters and offpoints.
