AUX - CURRENT STATUS (2007/08/10)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1/ MDI: When MDI does not get high rate data, we only take 96 minute Magnetograms 
        which are stored on-board the spacecraft and dumped in the first 12 minutes 
        of high rate later.  We also get continuous low rate data or medium-l and LOI 
	data.  We do not get 1 minute cadence "campaign" data, otherwise known as the 
	1 minute cadence FD or HR images.

2/ HINODE planning:

Actually there is a web page which has the Hinode pointing (which is 
the center of the SOT FOV) as soon as it decided in the daily meeting.
See the Hinode Daily Events page at, for example:

http://www.isas.jaxa.jp/home/solar/hinode_op/hinode_daily_events.php?date=20070806

Every day except Sunday, the bottom of this page has a link to the 
pointing file, if the pointing has been selected yet.  Today's file is:

                                                    YYYYMMDD          YYYYMMDD   
http://www.isas.jaxa.jp/home/solar/hinode_op/cmdpln/20070806/re-point_200708068000.txt

In this file, the column of coordinates below "/* Memory upload :" 
show the pointing coordinates at the start of each pointing.  
Start (YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS and (x,y) + text are in one line and information for 
end   (YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS in the next one (which is start of later target pointing) 

If the tracking number is 0, then pointing is fixed at these coordinates; if 
it is 1-4, then the pointing will continuously follow solar rotation.

These coordinates were chosen this morning, but they may be modified in the 
daily meeting Tu morning at 01:30 UT.  Usually any such last minute 
modifications are fine tuning in the same target region.

Each pointing file ends with 24 hours pointing at disk center called 
the backup plan; ignore this, it will only take effect if the next 
day's plan can't be uplinked for some reason.
