SDO, (Solar Dynamics Observatory) Options

[Guest_PhilCo126_*]

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).

Have noticed an anomaly in the Solar Dynamics Observatory daily intensitygram images, for the past four days. On the righthand side of the images there is an odd, diagonal line across the solar disk, which is lighter in color than the surrounding surface of the Sun.
I suspected this was a transitory fault, perhaps caused by the intrusion of an energetic particle into the camera. This seems unlikely, though, after three, day-after-day repetitions, in the very same position against the solar disk. It also seems unlikely that an imaging processing artifact would persist like this, without correction, or even comment. Any ideas on what could be causing this anomaly?
