I'm sorry that I can't write a report for this day. It was a busy day for me and I didn't get it written while the observation was still fresh in my mind.
There were a few events of activity on the Eastern limb that day and it was reported by Spaceweather.com that a C8 class flare hurled a "bright CME into space."
Gary Palmer had an excellent animation on the site the next day if you haven't seen it yet. www.spaceweather.com Evidently excitement started about 0110 UTC. I observed from about 1850 UT - 2005 UT. The following sketches reflect that observation period.
Here is the animation I created with my sequence of sketches of the Eastern limb. It lasted from 1900 UT - 2000 UT. Link to animation
That same day, David explained in much appreciated detail how and where flares generally occur. Link to solar alert thread
