How can i download and process LASCO-C2 data using sunpy

I want to download LASCO-C2 or LASCO-C3 images (fits) from a time range, with a cadence.

# Search and Print results
results = Fido.search(
    time_range,
    a.Instrument.lasco,
)

print(results)

Results from 0 Providers:
does not return any result, because it seems like this images are not available on VSO.
The images are available on https://ssa.esac.esa.int/ssa/#/pages/home
but it doesnt allow me to search by detector (C2, C3) and cadence, is there any way i can download these images using sunpy, since i am already using it for AIA images. If not what are the alternatives ?

Also, can i progress LASCO images using sunpy similar to progressing AIA images (https://aiapy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/preparing_data.html). I want to use LASCO images with AIA images for machine learning applications.

Thank you

Hi @Ziyaan,

I think unless the VSO provides the FITS file, there is no client within sunpy to provide LASCO data nor is there a way in sunpy to prep the FITS files to be science ready. You have to still use IDL for that step.

Helioviewer does provide calibrated JPEGS but that limits the data range, I am unsure if it possible to undo the scaling.
