Dear ASCA users, I am sending a revised schedule for march 4 - 16, by adding one more pointing, Geminga Neb #2. The total 60 ksec exposure for Geminga Nebula is divided into uneven two exposures. The Japanese space VLBI mission, Muses-B (VSOP) was launched on February 12 at 4:50 (UT) and named as "HALCA" (Highly Advanced Laboratory for Communications and Astronomy). Its Japanese pronunciation "haruka" means "far away in the distance". F.
