SOHO/LASCO observed an asymmetric HALO CME on January 29, 2014.  Event
is first seen in C2 beginning 00:36 UT with a loop over the South pole.
The event expands with extensions to an asymmetric HALO by 02:00 UT.
The event continues into the C3 field beginning 01:30-07:18 UT leaving
the C3 field at 30Rsun in the South. 

Time/height measurements were marked at 2 points in C2 with speeds of
519.7 Km/sec at PA 177 degrees. The event is marked to 17 points in C3.  
Speeds average through both fields to 792.0 Km/sec at PA 177 degrees.
Acceleration 22.13 m/sec^2. 

SDO/AIA 193A shows an elevated filament centered at location [S28, W50]
erupting January 28 23:33-01:45 UT producing an elongated loop.
AIA 304A sees an activated prominence in the SW and across the limb
at [S40].  The channel is approximately centered at location
[S39, W32] that begins eruption at 17:06 UT.  The loops break free
20:00-01:51 UT with a primary Southward direction.
 

STEREO: BEACON data
COR2 A,  22:39-06:54 UT data gap.
EUVI A 195, n/a
COR2 B, 00:55-05:25 UT, asymmetric CME across the South and East.
Preliminary time/height measure gives 929.9 km/sec velocity at LE. 
EUVI B 195, n/a.


The observation of this event is considered 'GOOD'. This CME is determined FRONTSIDE.
