Points Of Interest

Mercury can be seen now in the C3 FOV, in the southern hemisphere, moving 
from right to left. It is expected to be in the C3 FOV until around Feb 2.

2006/01/19 (Thursday)

00:30 UT  WS West	Big and bright loop front (brighter to N) with inner
			core.

01:31 UT  ES East	Elongated fan-like front that fades close to the inner
			edge of C3.

09:30 UT  N East	Diffuse brightening develops as an elongated loop front.
			Pseudo-continuous loop fronts developing afterward 
			rotating toward the N Pole and up to NNW by the 
			beginning of next day.

09:30 UT  S East 	Brightening along streamer immediately followed by a
			bright loop front, which starts to be seen at around
			10:06 UT. Very bright and big core follows slightly
			shifted to S (prominence material). The event starts 
			to be seen in C3 at 11:18 UT developing as a ragged 
			loop front with a bright inner core. Some faint
			extensions can be seen to N, extending up to almost NE.
			Gusty outflow follows well into next day. EIT 195 
			images show the lift-off of a very large prominence
			between 09:36 - 11:36 UT, which appears to originate 
			well behind the limb.

	  S East	Strong gusty outflow continues. By the beginning of 
			the day, the slow development of a system of faint 
			loops starts to be distinguished superposed in the LOS
			with the gusty outflow.

09:30 UT  W Limb	Faint jet-like front that quickly fades.

Last C2 image available by the time of writing: 15:06 UT.
