EIT and LASCO observed a partial HALO CME event on 2002/02/14.  This event
first seen in C2 at 02:30 UT as a slow oblong extensive front along the
SouthWest quadrant and covering the South Pole region.  The event
developed to a wide loop LE at PA 110-272 degrees.  The event was first
seen in C3 beginning at 04:18 UT and was tracked to 19Rs by 15:00.  The
plane-of-sky speed was averaged through both fields of view to 301 km/sec
at PA 213 degrees with acceleration through C3.

EIT sees an eruptive filament start at 21:48 UT on 2002/02/13 on disk in
the SouthWest with southward projection. Filament location centered at
[S29; W28] just East of the transition area of AR9819.
