Dear Collaborators, <br> 
Solar activity has been at a high level for the past 24 hours.
The target region NOAA 13089 was the source of two major
flares, an M7.2 at 08/26/12:08 UT and an M5.3 at 08/26/12:24 UT.
Moreover, NOAA 13088 (S28W62) produced 5 low M-class
flares, the largest one being an M4.8 at 08/27/01:52 UT. Today
we will implement the Major Flare Watch campaign. The target
region 13089 has been designated as a beta-gamma/D-type
configuration. 13088 has a beta/D-type sunspot group but
significantly increases the sunspot area. More low M-class
activities are expected with a chance of additional major flares
from these two regions.  The position of NOAA13089 on August 27 at 07:30 UT is: 
S21E40 (-571&quot;, -422&quot;)
