</address> <pre> </pre> <p> Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
<p>Yesterday's target region is in the process of rotating over the North
East limb and it appears to have a magnetic classification of at least
beta complexity. The target has produced four partially limb-occulted
M-class events in the past 24 hours, the largest of which was an M5.5
flare on 18-Aug-2012 at 00:24 UT. At this time we are implementing a
Major Flare Watch campaign due to the increased likelihood of another
<em class="quotelev1">&gt;M5 flare. </em><br />
<p>The approximate position of this region on 18-Aug-2012 at 08:00 UT is:
<p>N20E87, ( -889&quot;, 316&quot; )
