Maximum height = 1.60+/-0.09 Rsun
Width (at 1.20 Rsun) = 22.81+/-0.79 degrees latitude (measured between edges -- vertical dashed lines at inflection points)
Width (at 1.40 Rsun) = 20.10+/-0.88 degrees latitude
Cavity depletion, equatorward (1.20 Rsun) = 0.47+/-0.015 (ratio of red to blue dashed line)
Cavity depletion, equatorward (at 1.40 Rsun) = 0.25+/-0.015 (ratio of red to blue dashed line)
Cavity depletion, poleward (1.20 Rsun) = 0.24+/-0.022 (ratio of green to blue dashed line) Minimum intensity in cavity (1.20 Rsun) = 2.4e-07+/-4.5e-09 (Bsun) (blue dashed lines);
Cavity depletion, poleward (1.40 Rsun) = 0.14+/-0.017 (ratio of green to blue dashed line) Minimum intensity in cavity (1.40 Rsun) = 1.3e-07+/-1.3e-09 (Bsun) (blue dashed lines);
Slope at equatorward cavity edge (1.20 Rsun) = 3.9e-08+/-4.8e-09 (Bsun/degree)
Slope at equatorward cavity edge (1.40 Rsun) = 7.9e-09+/-2.6e-09 (Bsun/degree)
Slope at poleward cavity edge (1.20 Rsun) = -3.4e-08+/-4.8e-09 (Bsun/degree)
Slope at poleward cavity edge (1.40 Rsun) = -5.7e-09+/-2.6e-09 (Bsun/degree)

length lower limit = 6 days visible in white light at limb December 21; -22; -23; -24; -26; -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 West limb Dec 22; N/A

Other comments: N/A

Filament - visible in white light

Necking - bulging neck
