Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is increasing a little with a series of C and M class flares. NOAA 11611 remains the most magnetically complex region on the disk, with a classification of beta-gamma. Between 11611 and the neighboring 11612, there are three well developed sunspots. However, a region rotating onto the north east limb has been very active over the past 48 hours. It has produced multiple C class events (many of which may have been occulted) and a single M1 event. This region is very bright in soft X-rays and EUV emissions. Although it is too close to the limb to discern it's magnetic complexity, there are signs of at least two large sunspots. Between this unnamed region, and NOAA 11611, there is a very good chance of continued C class and possible M class activity.
The position of the target of opportunity on 11-Nov-2012 18:00 UT is:
N15E80 ( -923", 242" )
