NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS 
--------------------- 
We note that the upcoming ACIS CTI measurement is planned to last from
286:20:11:26.379 to 287:01:38:06.379, a duration of 4 hr 50 min.

We received word from Martin Weisskopf that there is a new, very
bright transient x-ray source at J1859+226 with an optical counterpart
at R.A. = 18h58m41s.58, Decl. = +22o39'29".4. At this time, it is
about 1/2 as bright as the Crab. See http://xte.mit.edu/crossbox/xbox_011/.
