There is a lot of activity happening in this quadrant of the Sun. The Kcor Diff images show several prominences with breaking filaments. The Kcor NRGF images show activity, but it is fainter and more difficult to ascertain if breakaway CME's are taking place. To be on the safe side this alert is being sent out. ___end___ Sat Sep 17 20:04:13 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook waves_1074_1hour.cbk line 0 Sat Sep 17 20:43:21 GMT 2022 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20171025.ini Sat Sep 17 20:58:35 GMT 2022 KCOR End Calibration Script Sat Sep 17 21:14:47 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook dark_80ms_2beam_16sums_BOTH.cbk line 0 Sat Sep 17 21:16:04 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 637_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Sat Sep 17 21:20:27 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 706_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Sat Sep 17 21:24:31 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 789_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Sat Sep 17 21:28:35 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 1074_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Sat Sep 17 21:32:39 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 1079_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Sat Sep 17 21:36:52 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 Sat Sep 17 22:15:23 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal_flat.cbk line 0 Sat Sep 17 22:36:07 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 WEATHER COMMENT: mcotter: Sat Sep 17 23:00:57 GMT 2022 Aerosols are increasing and the images are getting a bit brighter. ___end___ Sat Sep 17 23:14:36 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 WEATHER COMMENT: mcotter: Sat Sep 17 23:39:00 GMT 2022 The sky is getting bright with aerosols and Orographic clouds have entered the science area, though not in the viewing area. ___end___ Sat Sep 17 23:41:27 GMT 2022 UCoMP Paused for clouds Sun Sep 18 00:07:23 GMT 2022 UCoMP Restarted from pause GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Sun Sep 18 00:09:28 GMT 2022 The instruments were paused briefly due to clouds in the viewing and excessive aerosols in the viewing area.
