Observations A1260206--A1260208 are HIST observations. In all three observations, the three non-guided channels (LiF2, SiC1, and SiC2) drifted with respect to the guide channel, LiF1. For those exposures where the target was partially in the aperture, we rescaled the spectra to match the flux in LiF1 in their regions of overlap. Observation A1260210 was a TTAG observation with no anomalies. P2420101, good dataset. C0530201 is a TTAG observation that caught SS~Cyg in outburst. As a result, much of the observation (8387 sec raw) was lost due to data dropouts, as the outburst count rate is above the TTAG limits. No serious problems in C0530202, although all of LiF1B is screened for the worm.
