MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The largest x-ray event in the past 24 hours was an isolated
M6.9 at 12/18/21:58 UT produced by NOAA 2241 (S09W06).
Target region, NOAA 2242 was the source of several
C-class events and an M1.3 event at 12/19/09:44 UT.
Both regions remain large and magnetically complex with
E-type/beta-gamma-delta sunspot groups and 2242 has bright
dynamic H-alpha plage.  Both regions have the potential to
produce a major flare.  We will continue to stay with target
region 2242 for at least the next 24 hour period.

The position of NOAA 2242 on December 19 at 16:30 UT is:
S18W26 (Solar X = 408", Solar Y = -280")
