Dear RHESSI collaborators,

The beta-gamma-delta region NOAA 0069 continues to produce numerous C- and M-class events, including an M5.0 starting at ~01:33 UT today. This event was probably associated with a southwest directed CME seen in LASCO/C2. Further C- and M-class events expected with good chance for an X.

The position of NOAA 0069 on 20-Aug-2002 12:00 UT is:

S08W37, ( 567", -221" )

See www.bbso.njit.edu/arm/latest/0069.html for images and solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
