As reported yesterday, LASCO and EIT observed a full halo event on
2000/11/23. The event was first seen in C2 at 06:06 UT as excess material
over the SW limb, with a bright loop in the same location at 07:31. It
later became a full halo, although it remained faint in the NE. The
measured speed in the plane of the sky was 392 km/s at PA 225 (SW limb).
EIT observed activity in AR 9231 from about 04:00 UT on, but the main
event was a filament eruption and C5.4 flare in nearby AR 9238 (located at
S22 W33), beginning at 05:36 UT. A weak EIT wave accompanied this filament
eruption.
Images and movies of this event can be found at the LASCO ftp server:

Best wishes,
Simon Plunkett.
