Points Of Interest

2008/04/04 (Friday)

06:06 UT  SS West	Faint jet-like front.
		

2008/04/05 (Saturday)

02:26 UT  S Pole	Very diffuse narrow and elongated loop front.

06:50 UT  WS West	Elongated and narrow ragged loop front.

16:06 UT  W Limb	Brightening just appearing develops as a big, wide and 
			very bright loop front. Diffuse extensions surround 
			(ahead and on the sides) the bright main structure. They
			seem to cover the C2 occulting disk by 18:50 UT (LE on W
			well out of the C2 FOV by that time, signal on E barely
			discernible). Some small ragged fronts in the trailing 
			material along the day and into the next day. The event 
			was first seen in C3 on W at 16:42 UT. The width of the 
			main loop-like structure (not taken into account the 
			diffuse extensions nor material deflected) at 19:42 UT 
			was ~ 100 deg. If extensions and material deflected 
			included, the event expands ~ 180 deg, practically from 
			the N to the S Pole. The main plane-of-sky speed of the 
			LE of the main loop-ike structure was ~ 890 km/sec (based 
			on C3 data). The HT profile shows practically no acceleration.
			EIT 195 running difference images show a close-to-limb 
			back-sided event starting at 15:48 UT. No wave- or dimming-
			like signatures on the visible side of the disc. A filament 
			on the front side, close to the limb starts to lift-off by 
			19:48 UT developing toward WSW-SW.
			
21:26 UT  S West	Diffuse elongated brightening toward SW.
