SATURN is still in the C3 FOV (Western hemisphere) after reappearing from
behind the C3 occultor on 2004/07/10 (Saturday) at ~ 05:42 UT.

2004/07/15 (Thursday)

00:30 UT  W Limb	Faint and very narrow expanding loop front, followed
			at 04:54 UT by a slightly brighter spray developing
			slightly toward WSW.

02:30 UT  S East	Initially bright and narrow front along streamer 
			accompanied by a faint and diffuse loop front to S. 
			Very faint extensions also above the E Limb. The event
			fades quickly in C2 and is barely visible in C3 
			(toward SW). GOES recorded and X1.8 X-ray flare from 
			NOAA AR 0649 (S09E51) between 01:30 - 01:48 UT with 
			peak emission at 01:41 UT.

11:30 UT  S West	Faint elongated and narrow loop front. It fades in C3.

13:31 UT  NN West	Extremely faint and diffuse loop front preceding a 
			faint expanding loop front at ~ 15:30 UT that fades
			throughout C3.

15:08 UT  E Limb	Very slow development of an expanding system of loops.
			Difficult to precise the exact time of first appearance.
			GOES recorded and X1.6 X-ray flare from NOAA AR 0649
			(S10E43) between 18:15 - 18:28 UT with peak emission at
			18:24 UT. By that time, structured and apparently 
			twisted features develop in C2. By 22:30 UT the event
			spans from PA ~ 050 - 145 (C2).

23:30 UT  WN West	Faint fan-like front followed by an elongated loop 
			front brighter to S at ~ 01:54: UT on next day, that
			fades throughout C3.

2004/07/16 (Friday)

02:54 UT  S East	Extremely faint front that quickly fades. GOES recorded
			and X1.4 X-ray flare from NOAA AR 0649 (S10E39) between
			01:43 - 02:30 UT with peak emission at 02:06 UT.
 
09:54 UT  N East	Ragged loop front that quickly fades.

10:06 UT  W Limb	Elongated and ragged loop front.
