ASCA weekly

[Fumiaki NAGASE <nagase@astro.isas.ac.jp>]

Dear ASCA users;

I am sending an ASCA observation schedule for the period of
January 20 to February 1. This period is busy by six time constrained
pointings. Also there are many US leading targets in this week, hence
I hope quick contact between each observer and NASA/GSFC/GOF scientists
for observation mode confirmation so as Dr. Kii to provide tracking
stars setting and maneuver command preparation enough in advance to
the real operation. The second observation of PKS 0208-512 was shifted for
a week from the last allocation in the previously released short-term 
schedule to January 27 in this schedule, to the latest opportunity of 
ASCA observation in this window, according the request by Stacy.
