Points Of Interest

2004/08/11 (Wednesday)

00:54 UT  SS East	Since the beginning of the day, the very slow 
			development of a faint system of thin loops can be
			followed. Several faster events superpose later, in 
			the LOS, during its development. The slow expansion
			continues all along the day spanning up to SW, and into
			next day. Barely visible in C3.

04:54 UT  ES East	Faint and thin expanding loop front (slow).

04:54 UT  W Limb	Ragged front that fades close to the inner edge of C3.
			An extremely faint front follows at ~ 08:54 UT.

06:54 UT  EN East	Initially bright spray-like front. It fades throughout
			C3.

07:31 UT  S Pole	Not well defined faint front(s), spanning all above the
			SE Limb. By 08:54 UT, a couple of ragged fronts is
			discerned on SE (first seen in C3 by 10:20 UT), 
			followed by kind of reconexion event at ~ 10:06 UT at
			around 3 solar radii from sun center (PA ~ 135): a small
			feature moving out and another one falling down. Gusty
			outflow afterward on SE and some discernible ragged
			fronts along the day.

08:30 UT  S Pole	Narrow loop front developing slightly toward SSW.

11:30 UT  EN East	Another spray-like front that fades close to the inner
			edge of C3. A faint and narrow ragged front follows at
			~ 12:30 UT a little bit to S. 'Gusty' infalling material
			through the rest of the day.

2004/08/12 (Thursday)

	  S Pole	System of faint expanding loops continue.

04:54 UT  NN East	Faint and diffuse elongated loop front followed at 
			06:30 UT by a very narrow (jet-like) loop front. They
			fade throughout C2.

06:54 UT  SS West	Faint loop front becomes discernible. It is followed
			at 08:30 UT by another one at around the PA of the 
			leg on the S Pole. This second loop fades throughout C2.
