Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity remains very low. All four NOAA-designated
regions have evolved little as they rotate towards the northwest limb.
A new spotted region has rotated over the southeast limb, producing a
foot-point occulted C1.0 flare on 14-Dec-2012 at 12:13 UT. This could
be the return of the region previously designated as NOAA 11620 that
produced many C-class and several M-class flares. This region has two
leading positive-polarity spot clusters, the northernmost consisting
of multiple small spots. The proximity to the limb prevents accurate
determination of magnetic complexity, but this region appears to have
at least a beta classification. B-class activity is expected over the
next 24 hours, with a good chance for C-class flares.

The approximate position of this region on 15-Dec-2012 at 14:00 UT is:

S08E73, ( -923", -131" )
