Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The current level of solar activity is high. Since the
previous message, an X1.3 flare has occurred on
25-Apr-2014 at 00:17 UT at the limb, likely within
yesterday's target region (NOAA 12035), which is
located beyond the West limb. The flare was likely
connected to today's target region (newly numbered
NOAA 12046). Therefore, the target will remain with
NOAA 12046. If possible, the instrument should
include the area at the West limb, just to the North-
West of 12046 within its FOV. A Major Flare Watch
(MFW) is now in effect. A further significant flare
(>M5) is possible.

The position of 12046 on 25-Apr-2014 at 01:10 UT is:

S17W79, ( 895", -263" )
