- 12 minutes cadence for C2 during Keyhole.

2006/08/22 (Tuesday)

	  E Limb	Slow development of a system of faint loops since 
			very early in the day. Difficulkt to give an exact
			time of first appearance. The event develops as a
			big twisted structure well before noon. Pseudo-
			continuous outflow superposed in the LOS.

01:12 UT  S West	Faint and small ragged front that fades throughout C2.

02:36 UT  S West	Another ragged front, brighter than the previous one.
			It fades throughout C3. Gusty outflow afterward in 
			the form of sporadic small ragged fronts thru the
			afternoon. Some infalling material on the W Limb all
			along the day.

2006/08/23 (Wednesday)

	00:00 - 07:12 UT	Temporary DSN Data Gap (C2 time).

07:12 UT  E Limb	Apparently another twisted structure already under
 			development (slightly toward ESE) after data gap.

07:12 UT  WS West	Elongated and very faint loop front.

Last C2 image available by the time of writing: 10:00 UT.
