EIT CCD bakeout over the holiday weekend - no regular EIT
observations from ~20:30 2002/08/30 to ~21:00 2002/09/03

LASCO C2 and C3 observations taken at increased cadence
over the weekend: ~ 5 mins and ~15 mins respectively

2002/08/30

03:06 UT  W Limb	Wide loop front, generally moderately bright
			but with substantially brighter central 
			feature. Front spans ~90 deg, streamers 
			disrupted in NW and SW, possible extremely
			faint extension to N pole

11:30 UT  S West	Faint ragged loop front, moderately wide,
			fades and disintegrates through C2

13:54 UT  N East	Sequence of ragged loop fronts, initially 
			quite bright. Fainter loops follow

15:30 UT  W Limb	Sequence of bright spray-like fronts

21:18 UT  N East	More ragged loop fronts follow 13:54 event

2002/08/31

01:25 UT  S East	Narrow fan-like front with cavity

14:05 UT  N East	Narrow loop front along wide bright 
			streamer, quite bright

14:05 UT  S East	Narrow ragged front along faint streamer

2002/09/01

02:05 UT  E Limb	First of a sequence of faint fan-like fronts

03:10 UT  S West	Wide bright loop front with cavity and 
			bright structured core. Extremely symmetric
			event, initially very slow. Some trailing
			material and fronts

11:05 UT  N East	Initially very narrow blob-like front expands 
			through C2, moderately bright

19:40 UT  N East	Initially fairly bright loop front fades and
			disintegrates through C2. Slight core-like
			region follows

2002/09/02

16:05 UT  S West	Faint narrow spray

16:40 UT  S East	Nebulous ragged loop front with some
			trailing material, quite wide

2002/09/03

00:25 UT  N East	Narrow loop front fades through C2

01:25 UT  N East	Small bright blob along streamer appears 
			to catch, brighten and accelerate faint
			slow-moving disconnection feature at ~4 Rs


02:05 UT  W Limb	Ragged loop front disintegrates and fades
			through C2
