KEYHOLE OPERATIONS:
*******************
11/15 - 12/02: 26 m keyhole
11/19 - 11/28: 34 m keyhole
* 11/19 11:00 UT - 11/24 11:00 UT: EIT CCD Bakeout
(EIT resumed observations on ~ 11/24 @ ~20:00 UT).
* 11/24 ~20:00 UT - 11:26 24:00 UT: EIT 171A cme watch in half res
(sm5) to support SECCHI program (12 min cadence).
* 11/27: S/C Maneuvers (SK and MM)
LASCO closed doors and safed for SOHOs maneuvers on 11/26 and EIT began
171A cme watch in full res with a 7 minute cadence thru 11/28 22:00 UT
where LASCO recovers.
* LASCO will continue with C2 pb orange filter 6 hr cadence, C3 pb orange
filter 12 hr cadence while possible during the keyhole period (only during
real-time contacts).
