SOHO is back now from the telemetry keyhole, again with high rate telemetry. After bakeout, EIT synoptic observation program resumed on 2004/07/04 (Sunday) at ~ 18:30 UT. SATURN entered the C3 FOV (from the left) on 2004/06/29 (Tuesday). Now approaching the C3 occultor, from the left.
05:00 UT E Limb Wide and diffuse loop front that develops spanning all the way from N to S Pole, surrounds a well defined loop front (PA ~ 078 - 148) and a ragged loop front (PA ~ 050 - 083) (measurements on C2 at 06:00 UT). 05:24 UT N Pole An extremely faint and diffuse front starting over the N Pole seems to cover the C2 occultor later during its evolution. It is difficult to discern whether it is related to the previous event. No significant X-ray events reported by the time. 05:48 UT S West Faint and diffuse ragged loop front. 12:24 UT E Limb Fairly faint and ragged loop front preceded at 08:24 and 09:36 UT by a couple of blob-like fronts. 14:00 UT S East Diffuse spray front preceding ragged asymmetric loop front at ~ 15:12 UT. 17:24 UT S West Ragged loop front. 20:00 UT W Limb Elongated and ragged loop front developing slightly toward WNW precedes wide ragged and diffuse loop front at ~ 21:24 UT.
05:36 UT E Limb Spray-like front. Apparently twisted trailing material. 10:36 UT ES East Another spray-like front. 16:24 - 18:24 UT Telemetry Data Gap.
03:36 UT E Limb Fairly faint and diffuse and ragged loop developing slightly toward ENE. It fades throughout C2. By 05:12 UT another ragged loop front, slightly wider follows, also fading throughout C2. 06:36 UT S East Very faint and narrow loop front, preceding kind of asymmetric loop front that fades throughout C3. 15:00 - 18:36 UT Telemetry Data Gap. 20:06 UT W Limb Very faint and diffuse loop front that quickly fades.
03:30 UT N West Elongated and ragged loop front. 07:32 UT N Pole Kind of 'circular' loop front accompanied by lot of gusty outflow above the NE Limb. 18:54 UT S West Spray-like front. 19:31 UT S East Slow evolution of system of loops. 23:06 UT HALO Very impressive 'full' HALO CME. First seen in C3 at 23:18 UT above SSW. EIT Fe XII shows no signatures of the event on the disk. Likewise, no significant X-ray activity reported by the time. Therefore, the event was most probably backsided.
04:30 UT EN East Kind of 'jet' preceding ragged spray-like front slightly to N in the trailing material of the Halo event. 05:30 UT S West Diffuse and wide loop front in the trailing material of the Halo event developing toward SSW. 10:06 UT N West Spray-like front.
