Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low to moderate level. Yesterday's target (NOAA
12253) was responsible for a ~C8 flare (currently in decay phase) on
05-Jan-2015 at 17:45 UT, as well as further C-class events. The mixed
polarity spot in the leading portion of the region has decayed
completely. Since the region continues to show large spot area (>800
µh), evidence for a gamma magnetic classification, and continues to
release significant activity, the MFW will continue for at least one
more day. Further C-class activity is expected with the chance for a
>M5 event.

The position of NOAA 12253 on 05-Jan-2015 at 16:35 UT is:

S07W14 ( 235", -61" )
