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

A real-time procedure was completed on July 10 to update the on-board Ephemeris.

Of note last week was the Radio Galaxies in the Chandra Era Workshop held in Cambridge, July 8-11. The workshop was well attended with over 100 participants.

The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of M31 coordinated with HST.
