Points Of Interest

2004/08/30 (Monday)

03:54 UT  W Limb	Ragged loop front that fades close to the inner edge of 
			C3. By 05:54 UT another ragged loop front follows. By
			07:31 UT, a narrow and faster loop front follows to N.
			Another (fainter) ragged front at 09:06 UT (it quickly
			fades). Gusty emission afterward. GOES recorded a C2.4
			X-ray flare from NOAA AR 10663 (N06W66) between 03:04 -
			03:18 UT with peak emission at 03:11 UT. And several
			B-class flares from the same active region between 
			09:54 - 15:04 UT (peak emissions at 10:00, 14:03, 14:52,
			and 15:02 UT).

16:54 UT  W Limb	Another ragged loop front that fades throughout C3.
			Event most likely related to activity on NOAA AR 10663.

	18:06 - 19:55 UT 	LASCO Data gap (C2 time).

20:54 UT  W Limb	Another ragged loop front followed at 21:54 and 23:30 UT
			by a couple of similar ragged fronts. They all fade
			throughout C3. Events most likely associated with
			activity on NOAA AR 10663. Please also note that GOES
			recorded a C1.0 X-ray flare from NOAA AR 10663 (N04W78)
			between 18:06 - 18:29 UT with peak emission at 18:18 UT 
			(possible C2 event associated to the X-ray event likely
			missed in the data gap).

23:06 UT  NN East	Very faint and diffuse asymmetric front. Barely visible
			in C3.

2004/08/31 (Tuesday)

01:31 UT  W Limb	Another ragged loop front. GOES recorded a B9.3 X-ray
			flare from NOAA AR 10663 (N03W83) between 00:40 - 
			00:52 UT with peak emission at 00:46 UT.

05:54 UT  W Limb	Bright loop front with structured interior. GOES 
			recorded an M1.4 X-ray flare from NOAA AR 10663 
			(N06W82) between 05:24 - 05:47 UT with peak emission 
			at 05:38 UT.

	08:00 - 15:45 UT	Temporary DSN Data Gap.
