	Q&A: Chandra Mission
                        
                    
            Q:
               I would like to know more about chandra exposure times versus
               visible light images taken with Hubble for Cas A.
              
               A:
               Chandra exposure for Cas A: 3000 sec (out of 5000 sec total
               observing time, due to technical difficulties during this
               checkout phase) Optical exposure: 2400 sec. (A ground based
               observation. The Hubble observation didn't turn out to well,
               because of the wide field of view and the rapid motions)
