	  S Pole	Some narrow ragged fronts (plus gusty outflow) during 
			the day, rotating toward SE as they appear. In 
			particular, fronts at 02:54, 08:30, and 14:30 UT.

00:54 UT  W Limb	Bright loop front with some very faint and diffuse
			extensions to N, and a twisted --like circularly
			structured-- interior. The event becomes visible in 
			C3 at 02:42 UT, appearing above the W Limb. Its angular
			extent at ~ 07:42 UT is about 70 deg (from PA ~ 240 -
			310). EIT 195 shows the lift-off of a filament located 
			at around S03W16 by ~ 23:48 UT on previous day).

17:54 UT  ES East	Elongated and narrow loop-like front. It fades
			throughout C3.

23:54 UT  N west	Very faint loop front. Barely discernible in C3.

	  SS East	Gusty outflow (rotating toward SE) continues until 
			around midday.

	  W Limb	Gusty outflow all along the day.

00:06 UT  EN East	Elongated and relatively bright loop front.

2006/01/15 (Sunday)

05:30 UT  WS West	Elongated and very narrow front developing toward W.
			It fades throughout C2.

05:30 UT  ES East	Couple of very faint blob-like fronts start to be 
			discernible. Theu both fade throughout C3.

16:30 UT  EN East	Elongated fan-like front.

	18:54 - 22:35 UT	Temporary Data Gap.

2006/01/16 (Monday)

11:36 UT  E Limb	Very faint elongated and slightly expanding loop front.
			Extremely faint in C3, fading throughout its FOV.

Otherwise, mostly quiet.

2006/01/17 (Tuesday)

03:30 UT  W Limb	Diffuse brightening develops as an elongated and ragged
			loop front.

05:54 UT  S East	loop front along the streamer.

Last C2 image available by the time of writing: 09:30 UT.
