Just starting a long observation of 'PSR J2229+6114' (obsid 2787), a new supernova remnant with an energetic pulsar. Soft proton levels are now moderate (flux around 800) but potentially will rise in the near term as the effects of yesterday's CME reaches the earth. NOAA SEC: Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be moderate. Additional M-class flares are expected in Regions 9866 and 9871. Another major flare in 9866 is also possible. SpaceWeather.com: AURORA WATCH: The chances for auroras on Friday or during the weekend are subsiding. A pair of explosions earlier this week near sunspot 9866 had raised hopes among sky watchers for Northern Lights -- but the ejecta from those eruptions have apparently missed Earth. There remains a slim chance that debris from Thursday's M5-class flare will buffet Earth's magnetic field and trigger mild auroras on Friday or Saturday.

Aspect soln is a bit worse than usual, but still in spec. SOT(Bill): - Current solar activity is moderate, flux about 800 - Effects of yesterday's M5 class flare and CME have not yet reached the earth (will probably miss anyway). DSOPS(Joy): - Several quick looks. GOT(Mike): - All OK. GRETA (Peter Allen): - GRETA Problems on MOS002 being worked. * Lack of response to task bar commands is due to deleting files in /tmp, which was done in an attempt to fix the locaku issue. * Original problem, GRETA Lockup, is repeatable and is being debugged. It is not isolated to MOS002 but is due to interaction with GRETA relay host and other GRETA machines.
