Does it mean you need a target for HR observing rally 24 hours in advance, it means at 07:00 UT? Or is it enough to send it till 12:00 UT day in advance? > The only thing I don't have control over are the high rate times.

This would be very nice and helpful. So preferentially we ask, as a default, for the mode hr_ve_fe_me - FOV 620"x310" with high rate for the 7-13:30UT time. This you can use for your weekly plan for week 32. Only in case of real need we would ask to switch to FD for some days but guessing the solar activity this option will not be very frequent... > I'll be in touch each Thursday with a new weekly plan for the upcoming week.
