Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Target region NOAA 11598 has continued to grow in number of spots, spot
area, and magnetic complexity in the past 24 hours. This region has now
been designated by NOAA as a beta-delta/D-type sunspot group class. The
furthest trailing spots of 11598 also appear to have the same magnetic
polarity as the main leading spot. NOAA 11598 has continued to produce
C-class events (eight in total) since the X1.8 flare on 23-Oct-2012 at
03:13 UT. The Major Flare Watch continues as NOAA 11598 has maintained
a strong polarity inversion line in its delta spot region, indicating
the potential for further flaring above the M5 level.

The position of NOAA 11598 on 24-Oct-2012 at 14:00 UT is:

S12E36, ( -560", -268" )
