Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity is at an extremely low level. NOAA 12718 continued to decay since yesterday's message and is designated as an alpha/A-type sunspot group. A new region with small spots has emerged in the South East quadrant, but no significant flares have occurred since the last message. This new region will become the target. No increase in flare activity is expected in the next 24-hour period.

The approximate position of this region on 19-Aug-2018 at 21:30 UT is:

S06E45, ( -669", -178" )

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.
