MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 1260 increased its sunspot area and spot count slightly
while maintaining a complex beta-gamma-delta magnetic
configuration.  It continues to display dynamic bright H-alpha plage but
only managed to be the source of C-class events during the
past 24 hour period.  The largest C-class event was a C5.3
at 07/28/12:12 UT.  The Major Flare Watch will be in effect
for at least another 24 hour period.  An event =, > M5 is
still possible.

The position of NOAA 1260 on July 28 at 10:30 UT is:
N18E24 (Solar X = -366", Solar Y = 213")

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

for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Regards,

Bill Marquette (Helio Research)
