Planning week 25 Jul - 1 Aug 2017


This planning week took place during the Hinode eclipse season, and it was also a focused mode week. This means that I made a single, 7-day plan beginning on the Tuesday.

A medium size AR had just come over the east limb at the beginning of the week. It had produced a couple of B-flares. This was the default target for the plan. I tracked it throughout the week in two ways: I ran 22 rasters of HPW021VEL260x512v1; and I ran 7 Atlas_60 rasters (one each day around 12 UT).

I requested quiet Sun disk center tracking for 25-27 July. Each day I ran dhb_atlas_120m_30" five times from around 19 UT.

A single Atlas_60 was run at the quiet Sun east limb on 28 July at 06:55 UT.

The only HOP this week was HOP 336, which was supported on 31 July.

The plan begin with the coalignment program at the north and east limbs. While the pointing was at the east limb, I began tracking of the active region with a HPW021 raster at 16:42 UT.

Quiet Sun tracking began with four consecutive dhb_atlas rasters. Times 18:42, 19:59, 21:36 and 23:15 UT.

Quiet Sun tracking continued with one more raster at 00:53 UT.

AR tracking with HPW021 was done at 07:20 and 15:39 UT. The atlas was done at 13:53 UT.

The first four quiet Sun rasters of the 2nd sequence were done at 18:56, 20:34, 22:12 and 23:51 UT.

Thursday 27 July

The 5th QS raster of the 2nd sequence was done at 01:29 UT.

HPW021 AR tracking was done at 07:55 and 14:36 UT. The atlas was at 12:50 UT.

The first 3 rasters of the 3rd QS sequence were at 19:31, 21:09 and 22:48 UT.

Friday 28 July

The final raster of the 3rd QS sequence was at 00:26 UT.

The east limb quiet Sun atlas was at 06:55 UT.

HPW021 AR tracking was done at 10:10 and 18:28 UT. The atlas was at 11:48 UT.

Saturday 29 July

HPW021 AR tracking occurred at 00:55, 07:28, 10:45, 15:47, 19:04 and 23:59 UT. The atlas was at 12:23 UT.

For the central meridian passage of the AR, I used 3 consecutive orbits to make a 3-raster scan of the AR. The middle scan (at 23:59 UT) is part of the 22-raster monitoring sequence. The first scan (at 22:21 UT) was offset by -100" in X from this scan.

The last raster of the 3-raster central meridian scan was at 01:30 UT and was offset by +100" in X from the central scan (at 23:59 UT).

HPW021 AR tracking continued with rasters at 04:46, 09:41, 16:23 and 21:18 UT. The atlas was at 11:25 UT.

Monday 31 July

HPW021 AR tracking continued with rasters at 02:05, 08:38  and 15:20 UT. The atlas was at 11:55 UT.

HOP 366 was supported with two Large_CH_Map rasters at 18:36 and 20:26 UT.

HPW021 AR tracking finished with rasters at 01:02 and 07:35 UT. The atlas sequence finished with a raster at 09:15 UT.
