Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at moderate levels with continued C class activity from NOAA 11271 and 11272. Although both regions are likely to flare, NOAA 11271 will continue as today's target. Its beta-gamma-delta magnetic configuration, bright H-alpha along the magnetic inversion line and multiple large, penumbral sunspots make it the best candidate for >=M class activity.

The position of NOAA 11271 on 18-Aug-2011 15:30 UT is:

N16E41 ( -599", 178" )

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.
