Center =139.72+/-0.70 degrees PA (SE quadrant) (red radial line)
Maximum height = 1.54+/-0.02 Rsun
Width (at 1.20 Rsun) = 18.43+/-1.05 degrees latitude (measured between edges -- vertical dashed lines at inflection points)
Width (at 1.37 Rsun) = 19.20+/-0.35 degrees latitude
Cavity depletion, equatorward (1.20 Rsun) = 0.24+/-0.017 (ratio of red to blue dashed line)
Cavity depletion, equatorward (at 1.37 Rsun) = 0.19+/-0.016 (ratio of red to blue dashed line)
Cavity depletion, poleward (1.20 Rsun) = 0.25+/-0.022 (ratio of green to blue dashed line) Minimum intensity in cavity (1.20 Rsun) = 2.6e-07+/-2.6e-09 (Bsun) (blue dashed lines);
Cavity depletion, poleward (1.37 Rsun) = 0.24+/-0.015 (ratio of green to blue dashed line) Minimum intensity in cavity (1.37 Rsun) = 1.1e-07+/-1.1e-09 (Bsun) (blue dashed lines);
Slope at equatorward cavity edge (1.20 Rsun) = -3.1e-08+/-5.1e-09 (Bsun/degree)
Slope at equatorward cavity edge (1.37 Rsun) = -9.4e-09+/-2.3e-09 (Bsun/degree)
Slope at poleward cavity edge (1.20 Rsun) = 2.3e-09+/-5.1e-09 (Bsun/degree)
Slope at poleward cavity edge (1.37 Rsun) = 4.0e-09+/-2.3e-09 (Bsun/degree)

length lower limit = 2 days visible in white light at limb December 26***; -28 (LASCO/EIT CME (29)!);

No Recurrence analyzed
Evolution comments = Angled CF-S -- originally mistaken for part of Sept - Dec 99 cavity system, but turns out higher latitude, related to different filament channel. Nice and bulbous cavity Dec 26. Bad Mk4 data Dec 27, poss visible 28, gone 29 -- and indeed, the PCF appears to erupt in EIT and LASCO on Dec 29. Too early for Mk4, unfortunately.

Neutral line orientation at the limb =
CME/dimmings association = CME LASCO December 29; prominence eruption on December 29;

Active region association = N/A

Filament/FC association = Angled CF-S; Angled CF-S

Other comments: N/A

Filament - only visible in H-alpha or EUV

Necking - bulging neck
