MM#009 Default HESSI Target

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
 
NOAA 1520 continues in decay phase and was quiescent
during the past 24 hours. The large central penumbra
is breaking apart in addition to significant loss of
sunspot count and area.  1520 is now classified
as an E-type/beta-gamma region.  There is a large dark
active filament located in the region's central portion.
A major flare is still possible but less likely in the next
24 hour period.

The position of NOAA 1520 on July 15 at 15:00 UT is:
S17W44 (Solar X = 628", Solar Y = -325")
