SOHO/LASCO observed a full symmetric HALO CME on November 21, 2012.  Event is
first seen in C2 beginning 16:00 UT with a faint loop with over the South pole.  The event
expands to a full halo by 16:36 UT.  The event continues into the  C3 field beginning
16:30-02:30 UT out to the edge of field at 30 Rsun in the Southeast.

Time/height measurements were marked at 6 points in C2 with speeds of
655.3 Km/sec at pa 138 degrees. The event is marked to 10 points in C3. 
Speeds average through both fields to 672.1 Km/sec at PA 138 degrees.
Acceleration -08.30 m/sec^2.

SDO AIA 193 shows a flare of AR 11618 at location [N08,E01] 15:12-15:48 UT.  This flare
produces an expanding wave.
