Dear ASCA users, An ASCA TOO observation of an X-ray transient, XTE J2012+381, an outburst of which was discovered with RXTE/ASM, was proposed. We decided to perform an ASCA TOO observation during the span on May 29 6:00 to May 30 4:30 (UT). The source is suspected to be a black hole candidate and it may be still in the intesity incleasing phase at the time of the ASCA observation. The PI of the TOO is N. White, US CoIs; TBD, Janese CoIs; F. Nagase, Y. Ueda, T. Dotani, and TBA. The cluster, MS 1910+6736, once installed in the span is carried over and will be ischeduled in the next visible window. In the re-servay project of the central part (Y. Ueda) of the previous "Large Sky Survey" region, the pointing numbers were reduced from 10 pointings to 4 pointings to get deeper exposure in each field. F.
