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.
An archive of these reports is available.

Points Of Interest

EIT resumed 195 CME watch (after CCD bakeout) on 2004/10/04 @ ~00:00 UT 
(Monday).

Mercury entered the C2 FOV (from the right) on 2004/10/03 (Sunday)  
at ~ 17:12 UT.

Jupiter exited the C3 FOV on the end of 2004/10/01 (Friday).

The two planets: i) Mercury (moving from right to left), and ii) Mars 
(moving from left to right) are visible in the C3 FOV (upper right quadrant, close to the equatorial plane).

SOHO entered the Telemetry keyhole on 2004/09/11. It will last until
2004/10/06.

LASCO is loaded with the 2 hr cadence in C2 and C3 pB orange filter binned
full field (FOV) LEB summed.  This will be part of the CME Watch in LASCO
pB program to run the duration of this keyhole. This kicked off 9/10
22:30 UT and continues through 10/3 12:00 UT.

EIT 195 CME was interrupted on 2004/09/10 (Friday) at 20:00 UT for EIT CCD
bakeout calibrations. EIT CCD bakeout between 2004/09/10 @ 22:00 UT - 
2004/10/03 (Sunday) @ ~22:00 UT.

2004/10/01 (Friday)

	01:36 - 13:12 UT 	Temporary Data Gap.

13:36 UT  WS West	Ragged front already under development after data gap.

Otherwise, mostly quiet.

2004/10/02 (Saturday)

04:12 UT  EN East	Diffuse front that quickly fades.

Otherwise, mostly quiet.

	16:36 - 21:36 UT 	Temporary Data Gap.

21:36 UT  E Limb	Loop front develops as a flux-rope type event (circular
			twisted structure and trailing material).

2004/10/03 (Sunday)

14:00 UT  S West	Ragged and diffuse loop front. It is accompanied by
			an elongated and relatively thin ragged front at roughly
			the PA of its northern leg.

17:12 UT  EN East	Elongated spray-like front. Twisted trailing material.

	21:36 - 00:00 UT 	Temporary Data Gap.
