Points Of Interest

KEYHOLE (#15) Operations:
-------------------------

* 2006/11/24 - 2006/12/11: 26 m keyhole
* 2006/11/27 - 2006/12/08: 34 m keyhole

* SOHO Maneuvers on 2006/12/05 (Station Keeping, Momentum Management and Roll) 
  LASCO will close doors on 2006/12/04 at ~ 15:00 UT and will resume 
  operations on 2006/12/06 at ~ 19:00 UT.

* 2006/11/25 - 2006/12/12: EIT Bakeout

* The TLM Keyhole #15 will have short daily passes and therefore limited 
  LASCO recorded data. Outside the periods of contact LASCO will go idle via 
  the on-board program. 

* LASCO will observe in improved mode during TLM Keyhole #15 (C2 12 min 
  cadence, C3 30 min cadence with daily orange/blue pairs and pB if possible.)

NOTE:
-----
As recorded by GOES, during the last 24 hs multiple B-and C-class X-ray
activity was being produced by a new region now rotating over the SE 
Limb -NOAA AR 10930- (little bit to S of NOAA AR 10929). GOES SXI identifies
this new region as the responsible of an X9.0 X-ray flare between 10:18 - 
10:45 UT with peak emission at 10:35 UT.
