CHIEF OBSERVER'S REPORT for Week 33 
                       07-Aug-00 through 12-Aug-00

			   L.Fletcher, H. Hudson

GENERAL 

Activity remained ceased, with only a small number of low C-class
events, and a single M1.9 flare which occured, of course, during the
CCD bakeout.

SXT TECHNICAL 

SXT worked fine without apparent problems this week.  A CCD bakeout
was done on Tuesday 8th. An M1.9 flare occurred during the bakeout,
and it was noted that ARS behaved erratically, taking only the first
PFI image at the correct flare location, and then moving to another
location which presumably appeared brighter because of high dark
current.  Apart from this, the bakeout proceeded normally.  A report
can be found at http://isass1.solar.isas.ac.jp/sxt_co/bake_000808.html

Index:        http://isass1.solar.isas.ac.jp/sxt_co/index.html

The nugget this week describes the catching of an X-ray jet. The study of
these animals will doubtless be furthered by this fortunate, and rare, 
jet occurrence inside the PFI (so, high resolution, highish cadence). 
The nugget remarks that the jet is associated with a microflare loop, but that
it appears to originate in fact in a fainter loop to the north, which may
not be in agreement with the `standard theory' of jet formation. 

CAMPAIGNS 

none.

                      SXT TABLE PLAN, WEEK 34
                        (14-aug-00 to 20-aug)
                              
Joint observations with TRACE and MDI (which is running in continuous
mode). The table indicates that ARS1 will be used to track the 
brightest region. However, if a suitably bright (but not the brightest) 
region enters the MDI Hi-Res field of view, ARS2 may be used instead.

Note, table names are different from those given in the draft plan.
