An archive of these reports is available.

Points Of Interest

LASCO images moderately degraded following the 
X17+ proton flare from AR 0486 2003/11/04. 
Proton levels now dropping. 

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

2003/11/04

12:06 UT  HALO		Full halo CME in first image, brighter in 
			E hemisphere in subsequent images, still in
			progress at writing. Fast event with much
			prolonged outflow especially in NE. EIT 
			backsided CME

12:30 UT  W Limb	Bright loop front with cavity and bright 
			structured core.  EIT eruptive prominence.
			Possibly destabilised by earlier backsided 
			halo

19:31 UT  S Pole	Fairly narrow bright loop front rapidly 
			overtaken/obscured by ...

19:54 UT  HALO		Thick wide bright loop front in SW is
			full halo CME by 20:06 though faint in
			NE. Extremely fast event. X17+ X-ray
			proton flare AR 0486 S22W88. Much gusty
			outflow into next day, especially in SW
