Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA region 11967 has maintained its
number of spots over the past 24 hours, but decreased in spot area as
it rotates towards the South West limb (possibly due to foreshortening
effects). This region remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta/F-type
sunspot group, but has continued to decay. 11967 produced the largest
flare in the past 24 hours, a C8.6 event on 8-Feb-2014 at 18:25 UT. The
MM#003 Major Flare Watch will continue for a final 24 hours, since NOAA
11967 still retains a significantly strong delta spot in its trailing
portion.

The position of NOAA 11967 on 8-Feb-2014 at 21:30 UT is:

S13W76, ( 920", -191" )
