Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is now low. NOAA region 11169 has maintained a beta-gamma magnetic configuration as it approaches the NW limb. This region has continued to produce C-class flares, the largest of which was a long-duration C3.7 event at 17:52 UT on 16-Mar-2011. Further C-class activity is possible.

The position of NOAA 11169 on 17-Mar-2011 at 16:00 UT is:

N17W84, ( 917", 292" )

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.
