There has been considerable progress in understanding the capabilities
of the Guider instrument and presenting them so that the Guider may be
frequently used, even in its present state.  Although there is still
some work to be done during the shutdown, there seems to be a reasonbly
good chance that guiding will be available in a month.  The first
successfully guided science observation (3.7 continuous hours) occurred
shortly before the shutdown.

I have been building a Web Page with the latest understanding of the
Guider instrument for some time.  For those who have not seen it
recently, let me mention that the "Latest News and Current Status
10/28/95" section may be worth reading if you are interested in our
guiding ability at the end of the shutdown.  Note that I keep updating
this page as more information is available.  If you have any comments
or questions about the contents of this page, please let me know.  The
