Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 11263 continues to produce significant C class flares - the largest of these being a C6 event - despite having rotated off the west limb. Although this region has rotated beyond the limb, it is clear from STEREO A observations that it is not yet showing signs of decay. As such, 11263 will continue to be today's target. However, given its high longitude, we will call off the Major Flare Watch as a >M5 flare is not likely from our perspective.

The position of NOAA 11263 on 11-Aug-2011 15:30 UT is:

N17W91 ( 904", 276" )

See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
