MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

At this time we are implementing Max Millennium coordinated
observing plan #003 (Region Likely To Produce A Major Flare).
Target region, NOAA 1260, was the source of an M1 event
earlier today at 16:07 UT.  The region has continued to
grow since the M1 event adding sunspot area, count and
magnetic complexity.  It has developed a magnetically complex
Beta-gamma-delta configuration.  It now has the potential
to produce an event = to or > M5.0.

The position of NOAA 1260 on July 27 at 20:30 UT is:
N20E33 (Solar X = -485", Solar Y = 252")

See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and

for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Regards,

Bill Marquette (Helio Research)
