   The purpose of this observation is to determine the line to continuum
   ratio inthe 0.5 - 1 keV region of a typical spot in the galactic plane
   where there areno bright sources. There are no noticeable changes in
   intensity of the 0.5 - 1keV flux as you cross the galactic plane along
   the galactic longitude of 300degrees. This is surprising, since the
   mean free path in the galactic plane isabout 1 kpc and extragalactic
   sources should be absorbed and go away in theplane. On the other hand
   galactic sources should be highest in the plane, andall important
   galactic sources are thermal, so they should be all in lines.So there
   is a definite prediction of a spectral change in and out of the plane.
