Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity remains very low. NOAA region 11450 has slowed in its evolution, but continues to develop more mature spots between the leading and trailing spots. This region has maintained a beta/D-type sunspot group classification and was the source of a C1.2 flare on 4-Apr-2012 at 16:17 UT. B-class activity is expected, with a chance for further C-class events in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 11450 on 5-Apr-2012 at 09:30 UT is:

N17W24, ( 377", 371" )

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.
