LASCO and EIT observed a partial halo CME on 2003/09/11. A narrow 
bright loop was first seen in C2 at 22:06 UT in the SE; by 00:30 UT 
the front spanned ~170 deg from PA 126-297, though faint in the W.
The front first appeared in the SE in C3 images at 23:18 UT and 
reached its maximal extent by 03:18 UT. The mean plane-of-sky speed 
was 386 km/s, measured at PA 170 with no compelling evidence for
acceleration.

The CME was probably associated with an eruptive filament which EIT
observed primarily between 20:28 - 23:24 UT, though the reorganisation
of the affected region of the low corona continued for a substantial
period thereafter. The filament extended from S16E24 - S16W11. SEC
records a B7.9 X-ray flare between 20:16 - 00:08 UT with peak emission 
at 22:37 UT, which may be associated with this eruption (no spatial
information is given). Both a wave and dimming were observed in
conjunction with this event.

Images and movies will be made available as soon as possible at
