2003/01/31

06:39 UT  N West	Fairly wide loop with cavity

10:06 UT  S West	Faint ragged front

13:25 UT  S West	Fairly bright loop front with slight cavity

	19:25 - 23:59 UT	Permanent data gap, EIT pre-CCD
				bakeout calibrations images taken

2003/02/01

	00:00 - 01:50 UT	Permanent data gap, EIT pre-CCD
				bakeout calibrations images taken

01:51 UT  N West	Wide loop fronts in N and NW fill quadrant
			and eventually span ~120 deg. No EIT data to
			establish whether connected, front in NW 
			somewhat faster than those in N. Possible
			connected to Type II burst reported by
			SEC from 22:09

05:20 UT  S East	Faint wide loop front, quite slow, other 
			similar front follow

14:35 UT  S Pole	Faint ragged loop front

17:20 UT  N East	Narrow loop front, initially bright

19:50 UT  N West	Thin faint well-defined loops move very
			slowly along wide bright streamer leading
			to parial blowout, still in progress.
			Faster fronts from ~19 UT next day

2003/02/02

08:35 UT  N East	Faint spray-like front

08:50 UT  N West	Narrow bright jet

17:50 UT  W Limb	Ragged loop front, quite faint, disintegrates
			through C2

23:20 UT  S West	Wide bright loop front with cavity and
			ragged core along streamer

2003/02/03

03:35 UT  S East	Faint nebulous front

03:50 UT  W Limb	Ragged loop front, quite faint, disintegrates
			through C2

08:50 UT  S West	Slow loop front along streamer, partial 
			blowout in progress?

09:50 UT  S West	Narrow jet, quite bright

10:36 UT  N East	Faint ragged loop front
