I was able to see a couple of specks on the lens and blow them off. Hopefully it helped. ___end___ ****EVENT COMMENT BY waters**** : Mon Feb 5 02:11:12 GMT 2018 At PA 120, starting from the start of our data, there is a prominence that rises then twists and stretches out. Unfortunately, the aerosols pick up in the afterrnoon, so it's hard to see it after 2052UT. Can be seen in K-Cor and GONG. ___end___ Mon Feb 05 02:20:18 GMT 2018 CoMP Restarted from pause Mon Feb 05 02:20:19 GMT 2018 COMP End Patrol ONSITE STAFF: waters
