Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has been at a moderate level. The target region
NOAA 13078 was the source of eight C-class flares as well as
three M-class flares since the last message, the largest one
being an M5.0 at 08/16/07:52 UT. 13078 has been designated
as a Beta-Gamma-Delta/D-type configuration with increasing
in the sunspot area and number of sunspots. Today we will
implement the Max Millennium coordinated observing plan
#003 (Region Likely To Produce A Major Flare). Additional
low M-class flares are expected with a chance of another major
flare (above M5) in the next few days.

The position of NOAA 13078 on August 16 at 07:30 UT is:

S24W09 (135", -483")
