Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at high levels. The largest event since
the last message was an X1.3 at 14:20 UT on September 7
produced by the Major Flare Watch Region NOAA 12673. 12673
also produced 5 M-class flares (including an M7.3 and an M8.1)
and numerous C-class events. Some (maybe three) of the flares
were also associated with CMEs (seems to be non-Earth-directed).
12673 remains its beta-gamma-delta/E-type magnetic classification.
It continues showing emergence of opposite flux in its leading and
trailing portions. Further major (>M5) flares are possible in the next
few days.

The position of NOAA 12673 on September 8 at 07:30 UT is:

S09W62 (831", -203")
