Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA 12209 has now fully rotated
onto the visible disk. The enormous trailing negative polarity spot
that this region had displayed as NOAA 12912 on the previous disk
passage appears to have split into two trailing spot clusters and
drifted apart. This region has a beta magnetic class, but clearly
has the largest spot area of the regions on disk. NOAA 12209 also
produced the largest event since the last message, a C5.4 flare on
14-Nov-2014 at 07:42 UT. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch will remain
active for the following 24 hours while the dynamics and evolution
of NOAA 12209 become more clear.

The position of NOAA 12209 on 14-Nov-2014 at 23:00 UT is:

S15E49, ( -713", -282" )
