Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 11598 has grown in sunspot area and number of spots. Although
designated as a beta magnetic complexity, this region appears to
have developed a delta spot in its lower trailing spot group. NOAA
11598 was the source of 2 major flares since the last message - an
M5.0 flare on 22-Oct-2012 at 18:38 UT and an X1.8 on 23-Oct-2012
at 03:13 UT. The Major Flare Watch campaign will remain in effect,
as 11598 has the potential to produce additional flares >/=M5 in
the following 24 to 48 hours.

The position of NOAA 11598 on 23-Oct-2012 at 12:30 UT is:

S10E49, ( -720", -223" )

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

for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
