Comments

The is a narrow feature in Fe XVIII before the CME that most probably is a current sheet from a previous event. Broadening of Fe XVIII around 17:21UT. A narrow feature after the passage of the front is seen in Fe XVIII at PA=242 when few exposures are summed together. Starting at 02:54UT is a dimming of the O VI line between PA 275 and 283 due to the following CME at 01:59UT. High background due to the X-ray flare starting from 17:16UT. Broad OVI lines from 17:25 to 17:29 UT.
