Points Of Interest

LASCO images severely degraded following the 
X18 proton flare from AR 0486 2003/10/28 and 
X11 proton flare from AR 0486 2003/10/29.
Proton levels now dropping but contamination
is still serious. 

LASCO images are at irregular times and cadences
due to the impact of the proton levels on the
instrument's telemetry buffer
