Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity remains at mid-low levels. There have been numerous B class flares produced by NOAA 11271 and 11272 along with two low C class flares. There are two new active regions on the east limb - NOAA 11274 and 11275. 11274 appears to be in decay although it is unclear whether 11275 is emerging or decaying at this point in time. Although 11271 and 11272 are also in their decay phases, 11271 will continue to be todays target as it is the largest region on disk with the most number of sunspots. C class activity is possible.

The position of NOAA 11271 on 22-Aug-2011 15:30 UT is:

N16W10 ( 158", 151" )
