Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The target region, NOAA 12192, has just produced an X1.1 flare, which
peaked at 05:01 UT. The region retains its beta-gamma configuration
with a highly sheared magnetic neutral line, and has a sunspot area of
over 1200 uh. At this time we are implementing a Major Flare Watch
campaign. Flare observations shall continue at the DST, but now there
is an increased likelihood of additional events greater than M5 over
the next 24-48 hours.

The position of NOAA 12192 on 19-Oct-2014 at 03:35 UT is:

S13E54, ( -760", -269" )

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