Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. The target region has
been designated as NOAA 12685. This region has a surprisingly simple
magnetic configuration, classified as an alpha/H-type sunspot group.
NOAA 12685 has produced no flaring activity since the M1.1 event on
20-Oct-2017 at 23:10 UT. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch will remain in
place for the following 24 hours. C-class flares are probable with a
chance for another M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 12685 on 22-Oct-2017 at 18:30 UT is:

S11E64, ( -850", -222" )
