Planet Mercury is visible in C3 images,
moving R to L

2003/03/18

03:30 UT  N West	Very slow loop front along streamer,
			quite faint

06:06 UT  S East	Narrow loop front along streamer
			faster brighter fronts follow

06:54 UT  S West	Bright moderately narrow loop front with
			cavity and some trailing material

07:31 UT  E Limb	Narrow loop front with cavity

10:30 UT  E Limb	Narrow bright asymmetric loop front with
			slight cavity, wider and faster than 
			previous event

10:30 UT  S West	Bright moderately narrow loop front with
			cavity and some trailing material, interacts
			with earlier 06:54 event?

10:54 UT  N West	Fairly slow faint asymmetric loop front

12:30 UT  W Limb	Fast wide bright loop front, two images only
			at writing. X1.5 X-ray flare AR0314 S15W46.
			Spans ~120 deg with possible very faint
			extensions over both poles

12:54 UT  E Limb	Narrow bright front, slight cavity follows.
			Further similar events at 15:54, 18:54, 23:30

13:54 UT  HALO		Wide bright fast front in SW fills quadrant
			and into NW with fainter extensions through 
			SE and E to NE then faint extension over pole.
			Much trailing material in NW, also in SW along
			streamer which is subsequently largely removed

2003/03/19

01:31 UT  S West	Moderately narrow bright front along streamer,
			part of depletion process

02:30 UT  HALO		Bright loop front initially in SW and over pole
			is full halo CME by 03:06 though fastest and
			brightest in S. Some gusty outflow in SW

04:30 UT  E Limb	Narrow spray-like front, another at 09:54.
			Narrower and slower than similar events on
			previous day
