Kreutz comet SOHO-294 entered the C2 field of view at 18:06 on 2/7. It could be traced all the way to the C2 occulting disk at 21:30. More information at http://sungrazer.nascom.nasa.gov/pub/soho294.
07:31 UT S Pole Narrow-ish blob 10:06 UT Halo Tentative first appearance of front (bad data for next hour). Brightest over W limb from N Pole, but discernible around rest of occulting disk. No EIT or GOES counterpart, very faint with no obvious cavity or arcades, therefore determined BACKSIDED 11:30 UT W Limb Very slow rising loops, faint, S of limb, ~3Rs Discernible until ~03:00 2/8 15:54 UT E Limb Very narrow jet 17:06 UT N East Faint narrow front with some arcades 21:54 UT S East Bright front and cavity, some arcades
03:06 - 08:18 Temp DSN data gap 08:18 UT E Limb Wide (~90deg) system of fronts and loops, already in progress 08:18 UT S Pole Small faint blob, already in progress
