Width (at 1.20 Rsun) = 14.82+/-1.35 degrees latitude (measured between edges -- vertical dashed lines at inflection points)
Width (at 1.29 Rsun) = 11.34+/-0.99 degrees latitude
Cavity depletion, equatorward (1.20 Rsun) = 0.02+/-0.020 (ratio of red to blue dashed line)
Cavity depletion, equatorward (at 1.29 Rsun) = 0.01+/-0.020 (ratio of red to blue dashed line)
Cavity depletion, poleward (1.20 Rsun) = 0.12+/-0.018 (ratio of green to blue dashed line) Minimum intensity in cavity (1.20 Rsun) = 2.6e-07+/-2.6e-09 (Bsun) (blue dashed lines); Position of minimum intensity = 315.99+/-0.08 (blue star)
Cavity depletion, poleward (1.29 Rsun) = 0.10+/-0.018 (ratio of green to blue dashed line) Minimum intensity in cavity (1.29 Rsun) = 1.9e-07+/-1.9e-09 (Bsun) (blue dashed lines); Position of minimum intensity = 312.64+/-2.83 (blue star)
Slope at equatorward cavity edge (1.20 Rsun) = 9.6e-10+/-5.2e-09 (Bsun/degree)
Slope at equatorward cavity edge (1.29 Rsun) = 4.1e-09+/-3.8e-09 (Bsun/degree)
Slope at poleward cavity edge (1.20 Rsun) = 3.8e-09+/-5.2e-09 (Bsun/degree)
Slope at poleward cavity edge (1.29 Rsun) = 5.1e-09+/-3.8e-09 (Bsun/degree)

length lower limit = 2 days visible in white light at limb September 25; -27;

Recurrence =East limb September 25; -27; West limb October 9; -10; East limb October 21; -22; -24; -25**; -26 ; East limb December 12; -14; West limb December 21; -22; -23; -24; -26; -27***;
Evolution comments = Another PCF system, where PCF gets longer and clearer over time. Faintly visible SE Sep 25-27, then SW Oct 9-10, then better visible SE Oct 21-24 and really vis Oct 25-26. No Mk4 Oct 27, and maybe something vis. Oct 28. Associated filament on disk disappears by Oct 29 -- but this is the time of the Halloween storms and all hell has broken loose. around Vis. again on SW limb Nov 7-10 - maybe a partial eruption (EIT) Nov 8. Poss. also recur Nov 20-23.., then prom at East limb Dec 12,14; visible at West limb Dec 21-27 -- getting quite dark and high 26-27 -- but no EIT data after 25 and very limited LASCO data, and no Mk4 data Dec 13, 25, 28:31

Neutral line orientation at the limb =
CME/dimmings association = N/A

Active region association = N/A

Filament/FC association = e.g. prominence at East limb Oct 26; N/A

Other comments: N/A

Filament - only visible in H-alpha or EUV

Necking - straight up and down neck
