Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity remains elevated. A new region near the eastern limb, NOAA 11875, has produced a number of low C-class flares since the last message. However, NOAA 11861 was the source of a C8.4 flare at 15:15 UT today. NOAA 11861 retains its beta-gamma configuration and shall remain the target region for another 24 hours as it approaches the western limb. Further C-level activity expected. The DST will not be performing flare observations over the weekend and so we are reverting to Default HESSI Target OP.

The position of NOAA 11861 on 18-Oct-2013 at 21:05 UT is:

S08W82, ( 944", -146" )
