Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity remains at the C-level with NOAA 12497 now on the western limb. The largest event since the last message was a C9.4 at 04:54 UT today. The magnetic configuration of the region is now uncertain but it is reasonable to assume that C-level activity will continue until the region transits the western limb. Chance also remains for an isolated low M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 12497 on 17-Feb-2016 at 18:35 UT is:

N13W87, ( 944", 222" )

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.
