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

Real-time procedures were executed on Jan 22 to disable SCS-29 and to dump and clear the EPS glitch counters as post-eclipse season actions.

Of note this week was the release on Jan 27 of version 4.8.2 of the Contributed Scripts and Modules package. Included in the package was a new script that changes the normalization of a source model so that the total predicted signal matches the observed data as well as updates and bug-fixes to existing scripts.

Also of note this week was the announcement that Sherpa 4.8.0 is available on GitHub. For details see: http://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/contrib/sherpa/
