00:54 UT East Limb Developing rising loops over limb, slow. At 04:54 UT a multiple loop front erupts to a very large CME with continued outflow. 08:30:05 UT C2 Running Difference Image. 08:54 UT SS East Narrow jet. 12:54 UT East Limb Bright loop front with twisted interior structures. Continued outflow. 17:30 UT East Limb Jagged LE following previous event. Twisted structures and more outflows. 17:54 UT N East Single loop event. Slowly moves out of view. Very interesting.... 19:54:05 UT C2 Running Difference Image. 22:06 UT East Limb Bright jagged front starts before DSN gap. 23:00 - 24:00 UT temporary DSN data gap.
00:00 - 06:30 UT temporary DSN data gap. 07:31 UT West Limb Bright CME in progress after gap. Narrow band of twisted outflows.
