MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Solar activity remains at intermediate levels with low C-level events emanating from several active regions. NOAA 11301 shall remain the target region, which appears to be undergoing sympathetic flaring with a new active region approaching the eastern limb. If possible, also include this new region within your field of view. Further C-level events likely. The position of NOAA 11301Â on 21-Sep-2011 at 10:30 UT is: N19E45, ( -646", 231" )

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
The unnumbered active region encroaching over the eastern limb was the source of an M1.8 flare at 12:04 UT on 21-Sep-2011, as well as several C-class flares, and shall be the new target region. The magnetic configuration is uncertain at this time but additional C-class flares are likely, with increased chance of another M-level event. The approximate position of the target region on 22-Sep-2011 at 09:30 UT is: N15E88, ( -922", 241" )

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
The target region on the eastern limb produced an X1.4 flare beginning at 10:29 UT today. At this time we are implementing a Major Flare Watch campaign. Good chance for an additional >M5 flare within the next 24 hours. The position of target region on 22-Sep-2011 at 11:30 at UT is: N10E88, ( -941", 162" )

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
The target region, now designated NOAA 11302, has been classified as a beta-gamma region and has a prominent leader spot. The region has continued to produce high C-level events since the X-class flare yesterday. Chance remains for an additional major flare within the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 11302Â on 23-Sep-2011 at 09:30 UT is: N11E68, ( -871", 138" )

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
Solar activity remains high, with both large E-type/beta-gamma classified sunspot groups (NOAA 11295 and 11302) producing M-class events in the last 24 hours. The MFW target will continue to be NOAA 11302 as it rotates further onto the solar disk, with a chance for a >M5 event if NOAA 11302 undergoes growth or flux emergence. The position of NOAA 11302 on 24-Sep-2011 at 10:00 UT is: N13E53, ( -751", 146" )

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
The Major Flare Watch will continue with target region NOAA 11302. This region was the source of an X1.9 event on 24-Sep-2011 at 09:21 UT and has produced 7 M-class events since. NOAA 11302 has increased in area and spots, and is now classified as an F-type/beta-gamma-delta sunspot group. Further M-class activity is probable, with a chance for an X-class
event. The position of NOAA 11302 on 25-Sep-2011 at 13:00 UT is: N12E40, ( -601", 111" )

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
NOAA 11302 retains its beta-gamma-delta configuration and has produced 3 M-class flares since the last message. The Major Flare Watch will continue with NOAA 11302 as the target region. Good chance for further M-level activity with the possibility of an isolated X-class flare. The position of NOAA 11302Â on 26-Sep-2011 at 09:30 UT is: N12E30, ( -469", 100" )

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
Solar activity has begun to decrease with NOAA 11302 now downgraded to a beta-gamma region. The largest event since the last message was an M2.6 flare at 14:37 UT on 26-Sep-2011. We shall continue the Major Flare Watch for a further 24 hours as the region still has the potential to produce another >M5 flare. The position of NOAA 11302Â on 27-Sep-2011 at 09:30 UT is: N13E17, ( -273", 107" )

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Solar activity has returned to low levels. At this time we are ending the Major Flare Watch campaign. NOAA 11302 retains its large sunspot area but has lost a lot of its complexity. Only C-class flares have been produced in the past 24 hours. NOAA 11302 shall continue to be the target region with further C-level events likely as it crosses the central meridian. The position of NOAA 11302Â on 28-Sep-2011 at 09:30 UT is: N13E02, ( -38", 103" )
