Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is moderate. NOAA 12192 remains the
most flare-productive region on disk, having grown to a sunspot
area greater than 2000 uh and retaining a beta-gamma-delta/F-type
sunspot group designation. The primary leading and trailing spots
of NOAA 12192 appear to be separating, but this region continues
to emerge new flux. NOAA 12192 has produced C-class activity and
three M-class events since yesterday's message, the largest being
an M1.7 flare on 20-Oct-2014 at 19:53 UT. The MM#003 Major Flare
Watch will remain in effect for at least the next 24 hours because
NOAA 12192 retains the potential for flaring above the M5 level.

The position of NOAA 12192 on 21-Oct-2014 at 22:00 UT is:

S13E18, ( -289", -300" )
