Due to the worsening solar angle we must begin off-pointing ALON at the rate of about 1 deg/day. For the moment the passband schedule will remain as it is, but it will be shifted to later in the orbit within a few days.
2003 Oct 05 ALON/ALAT ~ 5 / 0
ALON will be slowly advancing to 45. N-block update soon.
