Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. NOAA region 12473 grew significantly in spot area over the previous 24 hours. This region is now classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group and again produced the largest flare since the last message - an M1.1 on 24-Dec-2015 at 01:49 UT. Further C-class activity is expected, with a good chance for additional low-to-mid M-class flares.

The position of NOAA 12473 on 24-Dec-2015 at 23:30 UT is:

S23E36, ( -533", -356" )
