Dear RHESSI collaborators,

Target region, NOAA 0501, produced some interesting M-class activity since the last message. Furthermore, old region 0486 now at and just beyond the SE limb was the source of an M4.5 event at 11/18/10:11 UT and also qualifies as a region likely to produce a major flare and will become the secondary target with NOAA 0501 remaining the primary target for at least today. Both regions have the potential to produce a major flare. 0501 continues to maintain its complex beta-gamma-multiple delta magnetic configuration and old super region 0486 appears to still have the potential to produce a major flare and to add to the excitement old active region 0488 is now on the NE limb at N10. NOTE: MOTD delayed due to circumstances beyond my control.

The position of NOAA 0501 on November 18 at 14:30UT: N03E14 (Solar X = -236", Solar Y = 010") The position of old 0486 on November 18 at 14:30 UT: S20E85 (Solar X = -909", Solar Y = -335"
