LASCO Activity Report for
May 17, 2001 SOHO Science Daily Meeting

Event times are first frame seen in C2 camera unless otherwise noted.
These are preliminary observations for the daily SOHO science discussions.
Final analysis is reported on the Lasco CME list.

Points Of Interest

Saturn is presently transiting C3's field of view, 
moving left to right below the ecliptic plane.

Much activity in the N East and over the E Limb at
present, probably associated with the third transit
of AR 9393, subsequently renamed AR 9433 and now 
AR 9461
