MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
 
NOAA 1520 has decayed somewhat following the X1.4 event.
The delta configuration has weakened since the last message
but the region's sunspot group is still classified as a large
F-type group with a beta-gamma-delta magnetic configuration. 
1520 maintains the potential to produce an M-class event with
the possibility of an event =/>M5 in the next few days.

The position of NOAA 1520 on July 13 at 15:00 UT is:
S16W18 (Solar X = 281", Solar Y = -324")
