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 closed doors on 2006/12/04 at ~ 15:00 UT and resumed 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: 
----
C2 and C3 images highly degraded (degradation increases along the day) by
ongoing proton storm following events on previous days on NOAA AR 10930.

19:37 UT  S East	Bright loop front most probably associated with
			the M2.0 X-ray flare recorded by GOES on NOAA AR 
			10930 (S06E45) between 18:20 - 19:33 UT with peak 
			emission at 19:13 UT. Note also that also multiple 
			B- and C-class X-ray flares occurred during the day.
