<p>Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
<p>Target region, NOAA 1166, was the source of a major X1.5 flare
late yesterday at 23:23 UT.  1166 developed rapidly during the
day increasing its spot count, spot area and magnetic complexity
forming a strong delta configuration within its central portion.
If the region retains its magnetic complexity, an event
=&gt; than M5 is possible.
<p><p>The position of NOAA 1166 on March 10 at 11:30 UT is:
N09W19 (Solar X = 311&quot;, Solar Y = 264&quot;)
<p>See <a href="http://www.SolarMonitor.org">http://www.SolarMonitor.org</a> for images and
