During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.

Chandra passed through the sixth, seventh and eighth eclipses of the 2009 summer eclipse season on June 12, 15 and 17 respectively, with nominal power and thermal performance.

A real-time procedure was completed on June 17 to update the on-board ephemeris.

The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes observations of V2129 Oph coordinated with KPNO and NGC 4051 coordinated with the VLA.
