</address> <pre> </pre> <p> Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
<p>The Major Flare Watch campaign will continue for today, despite NOAA
regions 11402 and 11401 decaying further. Both regions show signs of
fragmentation and have decreased in area, while the primary spots of
NOAA 11402 have also lost a significant amount of penumbral coverage
since the last message. The primary target is NOAA 11402, due to the
extremely proton-rich M8.7 flare it produced on 23-Jan-2012 at 03:38
UT. Observers are again encouraged to include the trailing spots of
NOAA 11401 in the field-of-view if at all possible.
<p>The position of NOAA 11402 on 24-Jan-2012 at 10:00 UT is:
<p>N28W41, ( 570&quot;, 517&quot; )
