Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. NOAA 12597 has grown in spot
number and area, and magnetic complexity over the past 24 hours. This
region is now classified as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group and has
continued to produce B-class activity since the last message. Further
B-class activity is expected in the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12597 on 25-Sep-2016 at 16:00 UT is:
S13W22, ( 348", -319" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a very low level. NOAA 12593 has simplified
in magnetic complexity as it rotates up to the West limb. NOAA 12597
was numbered in the past 24 hours and is classified as a beta/C-type
sunspot group. This region was the source of a few B-class flares in
the past 24 hours. Further B-class activity is possible over the next
24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12597 on 24-Sep-2016 at 18:30 UT is:
S13W10, ( 166", -326" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity has decreased again to very low. NOAA 12595
has now completely rotated out of view over the West limb. NOAA 12593
was classified at the beginning of the UT-day as a beta/D-type sunspot
group, but now appears to have some polarity mixing (i.e., beta-gamma)
in its trailing portion. B-class flares are probable over the following
24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12593 on 23-Sep-2016 at 22:00 UT is:
N08W57, ( 798", 70" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased since the last message with several
C-class flares - including a C5.6 flare at 05:40 UT today - emanating
from the target region NOAA 12595. The target region is now beyond the
western limb but its looptops remain visible in EUV images. NOAA 12595
shall remain the target region for an additional 24 hours with chance
for another C-level event.
The position of NOAA 12595 on 22-Sep-2016 at 10:30 UT is:
N08W91, ( 946", 134" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased since the last message with two C1 flares
emanating from the new target region - NOAA 12595 - today. The region
is now on the western limb and appears to still show signs of growth.
Further low-level activity likely with chance for another C-class
flare before west limb passage.
The position of NOAA 12595 on 21-Sep-2016 at 10:30 UT is:
N11W77, ( 914", 155" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux remains at the low B-level. NOAA 12592 has now
completely decayed, and the newly emerged region NOAA 12593 has begun
to decay. The new target region shall be NOAA 12595, a newly emerged
compact region near the western limb. The region has a large leader
spot with some possible polarity mixing in its core. Chance for some
isolated low level events before west limb passage.
The position of NOAA 12595 on 20-Sep-2016 at 10:30 UT is:
N11W63, ( 837", 128" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at the B-level with NOAA 12592 being the source
of a B5.3 flare at 07:32 UT today. A new bipolar region - NOAA 12593 -
has emerged close to disk center but has so far remained quiescent.
The leader spot of NOAA 12592 has decayed completely leaving only a
small trailing spot and an extended plage region. NOAA 12592 shall
remain the target region for a further 24 hours with only minor events
expected.
The position of NOAA 12592 on 19-Sep-2016 at 10:30 UT is:
N14E21, ( -333", 122" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target region NOAA 12592 has continued to produce B-level activity
since the last message, including a B6.8 flare at 10:41 UT today. The
region is currently undergoing some renewed flux emergence in its
trailing polarity. Further B-level activity likely with chance for an
isolated low C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12592 on 18-Sep-2016 at 10:30 UT is:
N14E33, ( -506", 133" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target region NOAA 12592 produced several low B-class flares since
the last message, including a B4.0 flare at 05:55 UT today. The region
remains unchanged in terms of size and complexity, but shows some
dynamic behavior in its leading sunspot group. Chance for further
isolated low-level events.
The position of NOAA 12592 on 17-Sep-2016 at 10:30 UT is:
