Dear ASCA users,

I am sending a short-term observation schedule for January 18 -30. 

The first version of a long-term timeline of the ASCA AO5 observation 
plan is now provided and released. It is loaded on the ISAS homepage
(http://www.astro.isas.ac.jp/xray/mission/asca/schedule/AO-5_LT.html)
and  NASA/Goddard ASCA GOF homepage.

Although this is the baseline for the one-year observation plan of AO5
accepted targets, minor changes will be made without warning. When we 
need a major change of the timeline, I will inform in this ASCA Weekly. 
I hope those who have a time constrained target will check the timeline 
if the target has been allocated in an appropriate week. If you have 
questions, please contact me or Paul Hilton at ISAS (paul@astro.isas.ac.jp).
