Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a very low level. The largest event since the last message is a C1.3 at 13:41 UT on May 4, associated with a CME, produced by NOAA 12535 (N07W65). There were some B-class events emanating from NOAA 12541 as well as a new limb region. Yesterday's target NOAA 12539 has been flare quiet over the past 24 hours. Today the target will switch to NOAA 12541 that has a beta/C-type sunspot group. 12541 is displaying some opposite polarity flux emergence in its leading spot. If possible, also include the new limb region (N12E88) within the field-of-view. C-class activities are expected in the next 24-48 hours.

The position of NOAA 12541 on May 4 at 16:43 UT is:

N04E42 (-636",112")
