1. Announcements
----------------
* Visitors from Finland on 11 February at ~11am.

* During the Kudo-Fujikawa comet obsrvations, the regular LASCO program 
  will drop 1 C2 image per hour, and they will be in half resolution, 
  during this campaign. C3 will be at the usual cadence (2/hour), times 
  will be somewhat different, and one of the two will be half res. This
  may also impact the generation of the real-time gif/jpeg images (at
  worst, only the one full resolution C3 image per hour will make it to 
  the web pages). Some EIT 195 CME Watch images will also have to be 
  dropped during this campaign.

* EIT bakeout begins on Friday

* JOP161 test run on Thursday (TBC)

Relevant Notes
--------------
CDS:    Full sun observation on Monday. EUV intensities in AR's 
	study on Tuesday and Wednesday. GIS spectral atlas on 
	Thursday. Usual studies for the rest of the week. JOP161
	test sometime during the week.
	
UVCS:   Comet observations and synoptic on Monday and Tuesday. 
	Coronal hole study and synoptics on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
	Streamer study and synoptics over the weekend.

LASCO:  C2/C3 synoptics, JOP159 Wednesday - Friday, comet observations
	through Friday. Comet observations mean half resolution C2 images, 
	fewer C2 images, and fewer EIT images.

EIT:    195 CME watch and synoptics, JOP159 Wednesday - Friday, bakeout
	begins on Friday.

MDI:    Full disk and high resolution dopplergrams for continuous.

TRACE:  Comet observations on Tuesday, JOP161 test, full disk mosaics 
	over the weekend.
