So it's fingers crossed for the Solar Dynamics Observatory, destined to help the predictions of "space weather".
SDO promises to become an exciting mission as an orbiting solar observatory with multiple high-definition telescopes has never been attempted before…  The prelaunch readiness press conference will be held at 1 p.m. EST, on Monday, 8th February 2010 from the Kennedy Space Center News Center. It will be immediately followed by the SDO science briefing, both briefings will be broadcast live on NASA Television. Launch is set for 9th February 2010 (10:30 – 11:30 a.m. EST). |

SDO started a calibration maneuver at 8:00UTC during this event, in which it turned away from the Sun. During the maneuver it would have briefly glanced at the Sun again. This was after the EIT image mentioned above, but before the coronagraph images. I can't say anything about whether AIA was taking pictures before 8:00, just what the spacecraft as a whole was doing. If they were taking pictures before this maneuver or during the part where the spacecraft glanced back, they should have something (additional) awesome to show at the first light press conference.
