Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA region 11402 continues to be the source of C-class events as it approaches the North West limb, the largest since yesterday's message being a C5.5 flare on 27-Jan-2012 at 06:24 UT. This region is currently classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group, although a higher magnetic complexity may be masked by foreshortening effects close to the limb. Further C-class events are expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for an M-class event before limb passage.

The position of NOAA 11402 on 27-Jan-2012 at 11:00 UT is:

N29W78, ( 833", 488" )

See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
