LASCO Activity Report for
February 6, 2008 SOHO Science Daily Meeting

Planner: K. Schenk, G. Stenborg

Event times are first frame seen in C2 camera unless otherwise noted.
These are preliminary observations for the daily SOHO science discussions.
Final analysis is reported on the Lasco CME list.
An archive of these reports is available.


Points Of Interest

KEYHOLE Operations:
------------------
Mon 02/04 - Sun 03/02: 26 m keyhole
Mon 02/11 - Sun 02/24: 34 m keyhole

- EIT CCD Bakeout scheduled for 02/22 ~ 21:00 UT thru 02/28 ~ 22:00 UT.

- S/C Maneuvers (SK and MM) scheduled for 02/19.

- LASCO will safe for S/C Maneuvers on 02/18 ~ 11:00 UT and recover on
  02/21 ~ 01:00 UT (still TBD).
  
- S/C Roll scheduled for 02/22 15:50 - 21:50 UT. LASCO will close doors
  for the Roll due too offpointing protection being disabled during the
  maneuver (estimated time of closed doors: 02/22 16:00 - 19:30 UT). 
  EIT will observe the Roll.

- During telemetry outage periods for this Keyhole LASCO and EIT will 
  not be recorded (and instruments will remain idle).

03:30 UT  W Limb	Elongated loop front.

05:30 UT  W Limb	Initially bright ragged loop front. A twisted 
			structure follows behind developing more
			slowly (narrower than the ragged front). Some
			trailing material.

06:30 UT  S East	Elongated spray-like front, top of a very 
			narrow loop front.	
		
10:06 UT  S East	Faint loop front that fades in C3, not
			far from its inner edge.
			
14:54 UT  N East	Very faint ragged front starts to be discernible 
			well above the limb (Difficult to give an exact
			time of first appearance).

	22:30 - 24:00 UT	LASCO Data Gap (C2 time).
