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:
----
Images still highly degreded by the ongoing proton storm, which starts
subsiding by the end of the day.  

00:00 UT  S East	A CME (most likely trailing material) can be guessed
 			under development in the highly degrades C2 and C3
 			images.

	13:33 - 18:46 UT	LASCO Data Gap.

19:19 UT  WN West	Bright ragged loop front with (apparently) structured
			interior.

2006/12/09 (Saturday)

Note:
----
The proton storm still continues, gradually less intense.

	05:18 - 08:06 UT	LASCO Data Gap.

14:36 UT  E Limb	Small front that fades close to the inner edge of C3.

19:36 UT  S West	Elongated and ragged loop-like structure. It fades
			throughout C3.
