Dear Collaborators,

Yesterday's Target NOAA 13738 just produced an X1.9 flare
(at 13:11 UT) when it was rotating over the west limb. This
region retains a complex beta-gamma-delta/F-type configuration
though it seems to enter the decay phase. The Major-Flare-Watch
target will switch back to 13738 for the next 24 hours. M-class
activities are expected with a chance of a major (>M5) flare
(perhaps occulted) in the following 24-hour period.

The position of NOAA 13738 on July 16 at 11:30 UT is:

S09W75 (901", -166")

See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and

for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Regards,

Ying Li (Purple Mountain Observatory)
