Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is moderate-to-high. Activity continues
to be dominated by NOAA region 12192 that has grown in sunspot area
to 2700 uh - the largest spot area recorded since NOAA 10486 during
the Halloween storms of 2003. This active region has maintained a
beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group classification and continues
to emerge new magnetic flux. NOAA 12192 has produced several C-class
flares since the last message and an M1.1 on 23-Oct-2014 at 09:44 UT.
The current MM#003 Major Flare Watch will remain in effect for the
next 24 hours as NOAA 12192 retains the potential for more flaring
above the M5 level.

The position of NOAA 12192 on 23-Oct-2014 at 18:30 UT is:

S12W04, ( 70", -286" )
