========================================

Plan
----
Segmented maneuver
HETG insertion and observation of Capella

Events
------
02:51 - Segemented maneuver successful
04:45 - HETG launch lock pin 1 pulled 
04:58 - HETG launch lock pin 2 pulled  
05:40 - HETG successfully inserted! 
05:57 - HETG first image appears: dispersed signal for HEG and MEG seen;
        plenty of spectral lines immediately visible
06:04 - Chocolate cigars passed out

Notes/Issues/Problems
---------------------
During HETG insertion, fid lights were occulted and lost, but quickly
re-acquired.  A disturbance of about three arcsecs observed in star angle data
at the beginning of insertion, and about 0.5 arcsec at the end.

HETG spectrum (using only real-time ACIS de-dithering) looks great!
