Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA region 12205 has shown signs of
decay with decreasing in spot area and number of spots. This region is
now classified as a beta-gamma-delta/D-type sunspot group and was the
source of 4 C-class events since yesterday’s email, the largest being
a C6.7 flare on 11-Nov-2014 at 11:15 UT. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch
will remain in effect for another 24 hours, but the target switches to
the South East limb for the return of the region previously designated
as NOAA 12192. High-altitude loops from the multiple X-class producing
region are now visible above the limb (with strong 3 MK Ca XV emission)
and the leading spots should rotate over the limb in the next 24 hours.

The approximate position of this region on 11-Nov-2014 at 21:30 UT is:

S11E90, ( -951”, 185” )
