Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA region 11548 appears to have decreased slightly in spot area and maintained number of spots as it rotates further onto the visible disk. This region still has only a beta/C-type sunspot group classification, but has decreased significantly in terms of flaring frequency and peak flare magnitudes. We are ending the Major Flare Watch campaign at this time, but further C-class activity is expected from NOAA 11548.
The position of NOAA 11548 on 20-Aug-2012 at 16:30 UT is:
N19E53, ( -718", 242" )
See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
