Points Of Interest

Mercury transited disk between ~07:45 - ~13:15 UT,
2003/05/07. No LASCO images between ~04 - ~16 UT 
while EIT ran a high-cadence multi wavelength program

Mercury is now present in C2 images, moving L-R 
away from the Sun

01:54 UT  S West	Narrow fan

	04:25 UT	Last C2 image prior to Mercury transit

	04:31 UT	Last C3 image prior to Mercury transit

	16:06 UT	First C2 image following Mercury transit

	16:18 UT	First C3 image following Mercury transit

<16:06 UT  S East	Fairly wide ragged front already clear of
			C2 field of view, leading edge at ~15 Rs.
			Slight cavity, some gusty outflow

16:06 UT  N West	Very faint front

22:30 UT  S Pole	Faint fan, quite wide
