MM#009 Default HESSI Target

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The largest x-ray event yesterday was a long duration C2 at 18:30 UT from NOAA 1208 near the northwest limb. The event was associated with a west limb CME. The target region (NOAA 1218) has a simple alpha sunspot group. We will switch to NOAA 1214. Solar flare activity is expected to be very low today.

The position of NOAA 1214 on May 19 at 15:30 UT is: S24W51 (Solar X = 674", Solar Y = -365")

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.
