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.

Points Of Interest

2004/08/13 (Friday)

	  WN West	(*) The ragged structure reported at 12:06 UT on the 
			previous day continues its slow development.

00:30 UT  WN West	Fast ragged loop front superposed in the LOS with
			previous event. It fades throughout C3.

00:54 UT  N Pole	Jet-like front.

02:54 UT  S Pole	More faint curved structures expanding toward SW.

	15:30 - 18:48 UT	LASCO-C2 Data Gap.

19:36 UT  SS West	Bright and narrow ragged loop front. Fainter loop-like
			extensions over the S Pole. The narrow loop seems to
			'drag' the extensions during its development. 
			Development of loop-like structures continues well
			into next day all above the SW Limb.
	
20:30 UT  WN West	Diffuse and elongated loop front followed at 22:30 UT
			by another not well defined front later expanding 
			slightly toward N, expansion most likely due to 
			event at 01:54 UT on next day. Meanwhile, the ragged
			structure (*) continues its slow development.

2004/08/14 (Saturday)

01:54 UT  W Limb	Faint expanding loop structure becomes discernible,
			followed by a couple of similar expanding structures
			at 03:54 UT and 05:54 UT.

	02:30 - 03:54 UT	Data Gap.

11:54 UT  N East	Jet like front. It fades throughout C2.

19:54 UT  S West	System of wide loop fronts, most likely related to
			M-class X-ray activity on NOAA AR 10656.

2004/08/15 (Sunday)

02:30 UT  S West	Another (continuation of the previous one?) system of 
			loop fronts develops. In fact, there is a kind of 
			continuous development of expanding loop-like fronts
			all along the day, most likely associated with M-class
			X-ray activity on NOAA AR 10656.

06:06 UT  N West	Faint loop front.

09:30 UT  W Limb	Faint narrow loop front already close to the end of C2
			FOV when discernible. It fades throughout C3.

19:54 UT  S West	Faint and diffuse elongated front. It fades throughout
			C3.

2004/08/16 (Monday)

00:30 UT  S West	Relatively narrow loop-like feature with a faint and
			diffuse expanding (and wider) loop front ahead. By
			06:30 UT becomes discernible an inner structure
			in the form of a narrower loop front with a bright top.
 
06:06 UT  ES East	Faint and small loop front that quickly fades.

12:30 UT  WN West	Bright loop front.
