Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has grown to a high level. The largest event since
the last message was a partially occulted M5.5 flare at 16:52 UT
on 11-Apr-2024 from two unnumbered regions behind the east
limb. This event was very eruptive and the two limb regions are
connected by large trans-equatorial loops. At this point, we are
implementing a Major Flare Watch on the limb region in the
northeast quadrant. Please also include the southeast one
(S18E88) if possible. Further C-class activities are expected with
a good chance of another >M5 flare in the next 24 hours.

The approximate position of the target on 12-Apr-2024 at 11:30 UT is:

N17E87 (-950", 300")
