Chandra passed through the second and third eclipses of the season on Aug 18 and 20, respectively, with nominal power and thermal performance.

Of note this week was the release on Aug 21 of CALDB 4.11.3, which updates HRC-S QE Uniformity data sets and PCAD ACA-primary dark current files. For details see: https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/caldb/downloads/Release_notes/CALDB_v4.11.3.html
