2003/01/30

01:25 UT  W Limb	Very faint jet, slow

09:39 UT  Halo		Faint ragged front on NW develops to bright
			bright loop front systems in NW and W and
			ragged front in S by 10:06, then full halo
			CME with complex morphology by 11:39 though
			emission in E is faint. Huge EIT filament
			eruption from NE to NW beginning ~06 UT

17:39 UT  E Limb	Narrow ragged loop fronts follow extremely 
			slow loops that have been rising along bright
			streamer for ~24 hrs. Wider faster fronts
			follow leading to partial blowout, still in
			progress at writing

18:25 UT  N West	Faint nebulous front, quite faint, possibly
			residual to halo event

23:06 UT  W Limb 	Initially quite bright loop front fades
			and disintegrates through C2. Further similar
			events follow
