Status of the SUN:
------------------

sunspot group developing in region which is in the southeast


Instrument Reports:
-------------------
CDS --  had problems yesterday and lost a lot of the south polar off-limb study.
        Howver, nice series in north polar off-limb though.  Today:  does another
        run on the dipole region in the west (fading) later today:  south polar plumes
UVCS -- attempted Saturn observations, PA 183 from 8.7 to 9.2 solar
        radii.  Could not observe it -- probably too dim.
LASCO -- running a repeat of Dec 1996 high rate CME program, although
         at a slightly slower cadence in submode 6.  Note, no special
         polarization or color sequences will be taken while LASCO
         is running this program for the next 2 weeks.
EIT -- nominal - will be doing full-field full-res 195 angstrom images interspersed
       with the LASCO images
MDI -- nominal  running M1V2 program.  Thursday MDI
       will reach ten millionth image taken in space


planning:
---------
plumes (CDS) - shifted time to work with MDI
