Points Of Interest

C2 high-cadence pB sequence campaign now running.
C2 pB sequences being taken every hour at the expense
of 1 normal C2 image and 1 normal C3 image.
Campaign runs to 2002/08/12.

Planet Mars is now in C3's field of view, moving L to R

SOHO comets now total 497. Perihelion of SOHO-500 imminent?!
