00:26 UT  N East	Sequence of ragged loop fronts and cavities, 
			some gusty outflow follows. Moderately wide

03:26 UT  S West	Sequence of faint loop fronts, brightest
			towards centres. Slight cavities follow

05:26 UT  S East	Narrow front along streamer, bright and 
			well-defined. Followed by

07:27 UT  S East	Bright loop front with cavity and bright
			structured core. EIT eruptive prominence.

			full halo CME by 10:06 UT, although 
			emission over N pole is faint. Brightest
			from SW to NE, streamers in SW and NE
			disrupted. Huge EIT eruptive prominence
