This is a full-disk, high-resolution SOOP specifically designed to capture eruptive events with a disk-center pointing. We observed numerous CMEs during all Eruption Watch campaigns (Metis and SolOHI). For some events, we were able to track their evolution from the disk to several solar radii. |

This run was specifically interesting because its duration was much longer than before. The data exhibit a rich phenomenology on all temporal scales down to 20s. Off-limb corona (full-FOV). Binning for Metis: 2x2 in VL. High cadence observation: from 1 s (fixed polarization) to 20 s or 60 s (total brightness). Interesting downflows in an open-field region. Analysis in progress.

It was targeted on an AR. The science goal was to capture the AR dynamics caused by small-scale emergence near AR loop footpoints. The AR was not adequately visible from Earth-based assets. An exciting aspect of this SOOP is the presence of a large moss region. Moss is known to be variable up to a few to tens of seconds, although the exact nature of such variability remains unknown. One of the PhD students at MPS is looking at this aspect in a statistical way, and this dataset is also part of that study. Caught quiet sun region close to disk centre. EUI is already using the dataset for campfires analysis. |

Main aims: -17 October: observe the pole at the same latitude between SolO and Earth-based, only differing in longitude. Objective was fulfilled and co-observations at the same latitude of 5.7 degrees, with 51 degrees angle of separation, were obtained. This was the last time in the mission where SolO orbit would allow for co-latitude polar observations so no re-run of the SOOP with the same aim is expected. -Co-observations with observatories from the Earth point of view to test stereoscopic studies of the weak polar magnetic field. Analysis is ongoing and will be a precursor for studies during the upcoming higher latitudinal orbits of SolO. SPICE run dedicated observation programs for polar plumes and spectral atlas with full spectral coverage. Special because co-latitude solo-earth @0.37 au. Plume was caught at the limb on 17 Oct. North Pole for polar observations on both instances of the SOOP. -During the 17 October instance, co-latitude (5.7 degrees) for SolO and Earth with a separation angle of -51 degrees. Polar faculae present. During the 17 October instance, co-latitude between SolO and Earth.

Hinode, SST, IRIS, GREGOR SST data in Halpha gives high spatio-temporal information on the chromosphere, which is missing in SO. Same for IRIS. Hinode is providing higher spectral and spatial resolution data than SO and it can be used for stereoscopy. SDO/HMI can also be used for stereoscopy. |

Caught nice sunspot seen from SOLO and Earth as intended. No issues with the pointing, nor for Hinode. Pointing had to be decided 4 days in advance with old LL. Observation centered on AR13468 (alpha spot), leading spot in (-420'', -255'') at 5:30 UT as seen from Earth. Separation angle between SO and Earth was ~-43 degrees and the mu angle of the sunspot was 0.92 as seen by SO and 0.86 as seen from Earth, so ideal for stereoscopy and co-observation.

In LTP13 a preceding offpointing was commanded for SPICE to scan the west limb. Metis observed at least 3 CMEs incl prominence ejection during the soop. The CH boundary is stable, almost not affected. Prominence eruption around south pole in LYA (first time with Metis). There was also EUI/HRIEUV movie associated with the Coronal Hole Bounday SOOP https://www.sidc.be/EUI/data/movie/SOOPs/20231020-CoronalHoleBoundary.mp4 Target was the full corona with particular focus on the regions at the interface between streamers and coronal holes. disk-centre pointing + 3 scans of the West limb for HR observations by SPICE and EUI. two small CMEs occurred on 21/10 from the SW and NE quadrants. The region observed off-limb with SPICE and EUI turned out to be a dark-halo surrounding an active region (probably associated with an equatorial pseudo-streamer). |

Hinode/EIS, IRIS, SST Hinode/EIS was (mistakenly?) not pointed at the coronal hole for most of the 3-day observing campaign In RSW12, Sun-Earth line observationsallowed to better observe the coronal hole with SDO/AIA 193A channel. This helped with target selection for Orbiter and also in post-event analysis of the coronal hole. Hinode/EIS spectroscopic observations (although the targetting unfortunately was not always pointed at the coronal hole as we would have liked).
