Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity has returned to a low level. NOAA 12529 has significantly decayed over the past 24 hours, decreasing in spot area, number of spots, and magnetic/structural complexity. This region is now classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group as it rotates up to the North West limb. 12529 continued to be the most flare-productive region on the visible disk and was the source of the largest event since the last message (a B6.6 flare on 19-Apr-2016 at 12:49 UT). C-class activity is possible over the next 24 hours, with a slight chance for a low M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 12529 on 19-Apr-2016 at 20:30 UT is:

N10W78, ( 921", 182" )
