Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Yesterday's target region is in the process of rotating over the North
East limb and it appears to have a magnetic classification of at least
beta complexity. The target has produced four partially limb-occulted
M-class events in the past 24 hours, the largest of which was an M5.5
flare on 18-Aug-2012 at 00:24 UT. At this time we are implementing a
Major Flare Watch campaign due to the increased likelihood of another
>M5 flare.

The approximate position of this region on 18-Aug-2012 at 08:00 UT is:

N20E87, ( -889", 316" )

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

for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Regards,

Shaun Bloomfield (Trinity College Dublin)
