SOHO/LASCO observed a partial HALO CME on June 23, 2012. Event is first seen
in C2 at 07:12 UT as a bright loop with cavity and core over the Northwest limb.
The event expands with extensions PA 205 - 78 degrees for a total width of 233
degrees wide. The event continues into the C3 field beginning 07:42 to 12:06 UT
leaving the C3 field at 30 Rsun in the Northwest.
Time/height measurements were marked to 4 points in C2 with speeds
of 1211.1 Km/sec at position angle 297 degrees. The event is marked to 6 points
in C3. Speeds average through both fields to 1349.0 Km/sec at PA 298 degrees.
Acceleration 59.39 m/sec^2.
SDO/AIA 193 shows elevated prominence material beginning 05:07 UT over the NW.
At 06:30 UT eruption begins with ejecta and a wide wave of material backside.
A long duration post loop arcade is seen over the limb 07:54-10:39 UT.
STEREO: HR data
COR2 B, 07:39 UT a faint loop over the NE which develops a full halo by 08:39 UT.
Preliminary time/height measure gives 1000.7 km/sec velocity at LE.
EUVI B, 07:05-08:20 UT cme emission over NE behind limb, eastward projection.
COR2 A, 07:39 UT bright loop over NE with fainter emission developing to a
full halo by 08:24 UT.
Preliminary time/height measure gives 1174.0 km/sec velocity at LE.
EUVI A, 195A shows 06:30 UT activation of a filament near AR 11506 in NE. Eruption
of the region begins 07:00-07:35 UT with a large wave and post arcade.
EUVI 304A shows activated filament eruption with eastward ejecta by 07:21 UT. At
08:48 UT-11:26 UT a second wave of filament material erupts west of and adjacent
to AR 11506.
The observation of this event is considered 'GOOD'. This CME is determined a BACKSIDED event.
