Dear ASCA users, We are now starting observations of AO4 accepted targets. Since we have only a week to start the observations of targets in this schedule and Manabu Ishida must investigate tracking stars for attitude control and settle maneuver parameters three days prior to the real operation of each target, I appreciate quick response from all the observers and the NASA/GSFC weekly duty scientist to confirm the pointing position and observation modes of SIS/GIS. If correspondence is not in time, we will arrange observations according the data in the proposals. Regard, Fumiaki Nagase ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A S C A WEEKLY OBSERVATION PLAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- November 29 - December 10, 1994: (ISAS contact scientist: M.
