			EIT event so most probably backsided

22:26 UT  N West	Fairly bright fan

03:34 UT  N Pole	Faint fronts from NNE to NNW

06:50 UT  S East	Sequence of loop fronts, fairly narrow
			and faint, cavity follows

17:06 UT  N West	Faint ragged loop front along streamer

21:26 UT  Partial	Bright loop front over E limb and marginally
	  Halo		to S, eventually spans ~200 deg from PA 280
			- 120. Bright in E and into NE, fainter over
			pole and in NW. Bright loops follow in E
