Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Yesterday's target NOAA 11493 has decreased in spot area while maintaining number of spots and a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group classification. Today's target will switch to NOAA 11494, a beta/C-type sunspot group with opposite polarity spots in close proximity to the primary positive spot. This region has produced several C-class events since the last message and an M2.1 flare on 6-Jun-2012 at 19:54 UT. Further C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with a small chance for another low M-class event.
The position of NOAA 11494 on 7-Jun-2012 at 11:00 UT is:
S18W12, ( 188", -295" )
