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.

2006/01/20 (Friday)

	  S East	Strong gusty outflow continues jointly with some small 
			ragged fronts. Also 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.

16:54 UT  S East	While the outermost front of the slow system of faint
			loops gets to the outer edge of the C2 FOV, a very
			faint and diffuse expanding front starts to be guessed,
			spanning up to past the S Pole by midnight (difficult
			to give an exact time of first appearance). By around
 			02:30 UT on next day, one leg of the front reaches the 
			W Limb while the other seems to remain anchored on SE
			(very asymmetric shape).

	  S East	Gusty outflow continues. Some small (blob-like) ragged
			fronts at: 08:06, 10:56, 18:54, and 23:06 UT.

18:30 UT  W Limb	Extremely faint loop front. It fades throughout C3.

2006/01/22 (Sunday)

04:30 UT  S East	Small (blob-like) ragged front.

13:54 UT  WS West	Faint ragged front starts to be discernible. It fades
			throughout C3.

23:06 UT  WS West	Couple of small and extremely faint fronts start to be
			discernible.

2006/01/23 (Monday)

04:30 UT  S West	Very faint and elongated loop-like front.

10:54 UT  WN West	Ragged loop front.

Last C2 image available by the time of writing: 11:06 UT.
