Commentary

Here is a summary of the galactic bulge.  It's been a quiet month!
These scans were primarily north-south, although there was a one-orbit
interruption in the middle for a time-critical observation of another
source.  There are a few artifacts in the source light curves because
of this (the split between orbits is right over the galactic center,
so it's harder to unconfuse these sources).

* 4U 1728-34 is lower than I've seen it before, ~45 mCrab.

* The blips in GRS 1747-312 and SAX J1750-2900 are artifacts.

* The rapid burster appears to be completely dead.
