Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Yesterday's target region has now been designated as NOAA region 11548.
This region is reported as a beta/C-type sunspot group class, but it is
too close to the limb to accurately determine a magnetic configuration.
NOAA region 11548 has produced 11 C-class and 2 M-class events since
yesterday's Major Flare Watch began, the largest of which was an M2.0
flare on 18-Aug-2012 at 16:02 UT. The Major Flare Watch campaign will
continue, as an increased likelihood of another >M5 flare still exists.

The position of NOAA 11548 on 19-Aug-2012 at 11:30 UT is:

N20E70, ( -837", 285" )

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

for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Regards,

Shaun Bloomfield (Trinity College Dublin)
