<p>Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
<p>NOAA 1515 has completed west limb passage.  It was
the source of a few minor events yesterday.  The new
target is NOAA 1520.  1520 is a very large region with
a complex F-type/beta-gamma-delta sunspot group.
Its H-alpha plage is displaying bright flare points and
dark surges. Previously somewhat quiescent, 1520
produced 3 M-class events in the past 24 hour period.
The largest was an M2.0 at 07/10/06:27.  Additional
low-level M-class events expected with a major =/&gt;M5
&nbsp;event possible in the next 24 hour period.
<p>The position of NOAA 1520 on July 10 at 15:00 UT is:
S17E24 (Solar X = -368&quot;, Solar Y = -332&quot;)
