Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Activity levels are increasing slightly with the rotation of NOAA
11272 onto the disk in addition to 11271. These two regions, both in
the eastern hemisphere, have been producing C-class activity over the
past 24 hours. Although 11272 does not share the magnetic complexity
or the number of sunspots as 11271, it is still a large, flare
producing region that is bright in H-alpha. However, NOAA 11271
remains the most likely source of a large flare. With its multipolar
magnetic field configuration and large, filamentary penumbral spots,
this region will continue to be todays target. Continued C class
flares probable with a possibility of some M class activity.

The position of NOAA 11271 on 17-Aug-2011 15:30 UT is:

N15E54 ( -742", 180" )
