IMPORTANT NOTICE RE LASCO DATA ---

From March 08 00:00UT - March 11 23:59UT, LASCO C3 images will be run at a 
much higher cadence (rate of telemetry). To compensate for this, there will be NO C2
IMAGES recorded during this period, except during the solar eclipse (Mar 9 00:00UT -
03:42UT).

This is to support a specific scientific observing campaign. Everything will return to
normal on March 12. Luckily we see very few comets in C2 at this time of year, so we
shouldn't be missing out on too much.

Email me with questions, etc.

Reminder: We'll have no LASCO C2 images for a few days, except briefly tonight
during the solar eclipse. The  current observing campaign ends March 11 at 23:59UT, 
at which point we will return to SOHO's usual observing plan.

Hi All,

Zhijian has reported a potential bright Kreutz in SECCHI HI-1A images. I have NOT
checked the report yet but if real, then it should arrive in the LASCO C3 data within
a day or two, and will likely be very bright.

Cheers,
Karl
Mar 12 2016 16:07:08 Mr Sungrazer 
Update: I took a look, and it's real. As of the most recent SECCHI data (Mar10) I'd 
estimate it at ~mag 12, but it was a long way out at that point. It should be visible
fairly close to the edge of C3, and should get rather bright as it nears the Sun, but it's
not going to be something to rival Lovejoy, for example.

Anyway, congratulations Zhijian!

Karl

Hi All,

Sorry I'm a little behind with the confirmations. I plan to get up-to-date on those
next week. The good news is that I have been focussing on the astrometry
measurements this year and have gotten a lot done. I'm working on 2015's comets
right now. Some astrometry has been submitted to the MPC so we can get the 
backlog cleared up, but I have no timeline for the orbits being published.

Best wishes,
Karl
