MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Target region, NOAA 1261, was the source of numerous
C-class events and a long duration M1.4 event at 08/02/06:19 UT.
A fast Earth directed CME was associated with this event.
1261 is mostly unchanged preserving a beta-gamma-delta
magnetic configuration.  1261 has the potential to produce
an event =>M5 in the next few days if it maintains its
current magnetic configuration.  It is possible NOAA 1263
located just to the east (N17E15) of 1261 may produce
an isolated M-class event as well.  1263 is also classified
beta-gamma-delta.

The position of NOAA 1261 on August 02 at 10:30 UT is:
N16W14 (Solar X = 220", Solar Y = 169")
