LASCO Activity Report for
December 29, 2003 SOHO Science Daily Meeting

Planner: K. Schenk, G. Lawrence

Event times are first frame seen in C2 camera unless otherwise noted.
These are preliminary observations for the daily SOHO science discussions.
Final analysis is reported on the Lasco CME list.
An archive of these reports is available.


Points Of Interest

SOHO is now in a telemetry keyhole, with roughly
30% data coverage. LASCO data will consist of 
typically two (occasionally three) continuous 
periods of real-time data per day

Bright sungrazing comet visible through whole of C3 field 
of view on 2003/12/28, and midway through C2. Short tail 
follows small bright head
