LASCO Activity Report for
October 07, 2004 SOHO Science Daily Meeting

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

SOHO is out of the telemetry keyhole.

Comet ASAS entered the C3 FOV from the SW (bottom, a little bit to right)
on 2004/10/05 (Tuesday) @ around 18 UT.

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

The two planets: i) Mercury (moving from right to left - close to the
occulter), and ii) Mars (moving from left to right - close to the right 
edge of the C3 FOV, almost equatorial plane) are visible in the C3 FOV.

00:55 UT  E Limb	Bright loop front.  It fades throughout C3.

00:55 UT  W Limb	Ragged loop front that fades throughout C3.

04:55 UT  WN West	Ragged and apparently twisted feature. Difficult to 
			give an exact time of first appearance.

04:55 UT  N East	Very thin loop-like feature. It fades throughout C2.

12:00 UT  N East 	Faint loop front becomes discernible at about 3.2
			solar radii ("pair fromation": corresponding infalling
			material starts to be seen by that time). Couple of
			similar (fainter) events afterward.

12:59 UT  N East	Another very thin loop-like feature, almost jet-like, 
			a little bit to S of event at 04:55 UT. It quickly 
			fades.

16:58 UT  W Limb	Ragged front.

18:56 UT  E Limb	Bright ragged front and trailing material.

20:43 UT  N East	Another very thin loop-like feature, almost jet-like,
			at roughly the PA of event at 04:55 UT. It fades
			throughout C2.

	22:06 - 00:00 UT	Data Gap due to C3 Filter Wheel Hang at 22:22 UT.

2004/10/07 (Thursday)

	00:00 - 02:34 UT	Data Gap due to C3 Filter Wheel Hang at 22:22 UT.

	05:55 - Present (~13:00 UT) 	Temporary Data Gap.
