SOHO/LASCO observed a partial HALO CME (type P) on February 24, 2010. 
Event began in C2 at 03:54 UT
as a faint asymmetric leading edge loop front
over the East, centered approximately at PA 58 degrees,
with material eventually
seen from PA 343 - 190 for a total coverage of 207 degrees.

The event continues into the C3 field beginning at 05:18 UT and measured
through the field
as the event ends and dissipates at approximately 10:18 UT
to 9.5 Rsun.


Time/height measurements were marked and calculated to velocities of this
event averaging 350.4 Km/sec at position angle 69 degrees through C2 and C3.

EIT had coverage during these times in a good range. There is no apparent signs
of any disk activity
which could possibly pertain to the event seen in LASCO. 
This event is determined a BACKSIDED HALO
event.

Limited LASCO images, movies and time/height information for this event is
