Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a medium level. The largest event since the last
message was
a M1.7 flare on 20-May-2013 at 05:23, released by a new region that has not
yet
rotated onto the limb. The flare was partially occulted and is likely to be
of a
somewhat higher magnitude. The region was also the source of other high
C-class activity that was been increasing- leading to the M-class flare. In
the
event that activity from the new region increases, the target may switch
following
the next message. For now, the target will remain with NOAA 11748 and the
Major Flare Watch will continue at least until the following message.

The position of NOAA 11748 on 20-May-2013 at 06:15 UT is:

N12W03, ( 56", 231" )

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