Points Of Interest

2004/07/30 (Friday)

00:30 UT  S West	Kind of half loop front (loop seen almost edge on?). 
			It fades throughout C3. Much gusty outflow, before 
			and after.

06:30 UT  S West	Couple of ragged fronts in the gusty outflow.

08:30 UT  EN East	Faint and narrow expanding loop front.
	
09:30 UT  N Pole	Ragged loop front slowly developing. A faint and 
			diffuse front seems to develop toward NE. They fade
			throughout C3.

16:30 UT  WS West	Faint elongated and ragged loop front. It fades
			throughout C3.

23:54 UT  WS West	Very faint elongated and ragged loop front that also
			fades throughout C3.

2004/07/31 (Saturday)

05:30 UT  W Limb	Very bright and wide loop front with bright inner core
			(Limb event). It practically covers the whole western
			hemisphere (C2) by 08:06 UT. By 09:42 UT faint 
			extensions surrounding the C3 occultor (shock?) can 
			be discerned (by that time, the LE of the event on the
			western hemisphere is almost at the end of the C3 FOV). 
			Gusty outflow on SW-WSW follows, all along the day. Mean 
			plane-of-sky speed (based on C3 data) at PA ~245 was
			~ 1346 km/sec. GOES reported a C9.1 X-ray flare on
			N05W89 (NOAA AR 0652) between 05:16 - 09:14 UT with 
			peak emission at 06:57 UT. Another X-ray follows (C5.3)
			on N12W88 between 10:35 - 11:49 UT with peak emission 
			at 11:01 UT. 

06:54 UT  S East 	Asymmetric and rather narrow loop front.

22:30 UT  S West	Small ragged front that fades throughout C3.

2004/08/01 (Sunday)

01:54 UT  E Limb	Faint expanding loop front followed by a similar one at
			03:54 UT.

12:30 UT  W Limb	Very slow development of a loop front. A faint, diffuse
			and undefined front is seems to develops by the time,
			slightly faster, superposed in the LOS with the loop
			front. The loop front develops as a typical 'flux-rope'
			event.

18:30 UT  E Limb	Very faint spray-like front. It fades throughout C2.

2004/08/02 (Monday)

	03:54 - 08:54 UT	Temporary DSN Data Gap.
