Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is moderate-to-high. The target region has
rotated its leading spot over the South East limb and produced an M1.1
flare on 20-Oct-2017 at 23:10 UT. This partially limb-occulted event is
from the region previously designated as NOAA 12682 and 12673 that was
the source of significant flare activity on its last two disk passages.
As a result, we are initiating a MM#003 Major Flare Watch (MFW) at this
time. C-class flares are expected over the next 24 hours, with a good
chance for further M-class activity.

The approximate position of this region on 21-Oct-2017 at 10:00 UT is:

S10E88, ( -948", -170" )
