Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The target region, NOAA 11520, was the source of a long-duration M1.7 flare which began at 12:03 UT yesterday and which was associated with a fast CME. The region retains its beta-gamma configuration as it approaches the western limb. Further C-level activity expected with chance for another isolated low M-class flare before west limb passage.

The position of NOAA 11520 on 18-Jul-2012 at 10:00 UT is:

S17W81, ( 891", -287" )

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.
