LASCO Activity Report for
December 23, 2004 SOHO Science Daily Meeting

Planner: K. Schenk, G. Stenborg

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

- Telemetry Keyhole # 7: 2004/12/13 - 2004/12/29 (intermittent contact).

- Spacecraft Maneuvers on 2004/12/21 (Tuesday). Therefore, LASCO will be 
  closing for the S/C maneuvers (Station keeping, Momentum management, and
  180 deg roll) between Dec. 20 (21:00 UT) - Dec 23 (~ 20:45 UT).

- EIT pre-bake cals taken on Saturday 2004/12/11 between 15:24-18:30 UT. The 
  CCD bakeout started at 18:47 UT. The end of the bakeout will be on 2004/12/28
  at 10:00 UT. Therefore, no EIT images during that period.

- During the Keyhole, LASCO is observing with DSN gap recording availability
  thanks to the FOT and the SOCs hard work. C2 and C3 observes at a 
  standard synoptic plan of C2 at 10 minute cadence and C3 at the 30 minute
  cadence with the daily pB and flat field images.


2004/12/22 (Wednesday)

	LASCO doors closed (S/C maneuvers on 2004/12/21). 
	No LASCO images today.

2004/12/23 (Thursday)

	LASCO will reopen doors at ~ 20:45 UT.
