SOHO/LASCO observed two (2) HALO CMEs on November 23, 2012. The first event (A)
is seen in C2 beginning 13:36 UT with a loop over the SE. The event expands
with extensions to a total asymmetric halo by 15:36 UT. The event continues into the
C3 field beginning 14:30-22:30 UT out to the edge of field at 30 Rsun in the South.

Time/height measurements were marked at 9 points in C2 with speeds of
427.5 Km/sec at pa 134 degrees. The event is marked to 10 points in C3.
Speeds average through both fields to 570.3 Km/sec at PA 133 degrees.
Acceleration 24.82 m/sec^2.

SDO AIA 193 and 304 shows an activated filament channel in the SW quadrant
located and centered at [S37, E16]. Filament erupted 11:27-13:45 UT producing
a dimming and post loop arcade.

STEREO: BEACON data
COR2 A, 13:39 UT, expanding loops produce a partial Halo over the East.
Preliminary time/height measure gives 481.6 km/sec velocity, acceleration 13.60.
EUVI A 195, n/a
COR2 B, 13:40 UT, multiple events close in time produce a partial Halo in the West.
EUVI B 195, n/a

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