Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. NOAA region 11944 has shown signs of decay, decreasing somewhat in spot area and significantly in number of spots. This region remains the largest and most complex region on the visible disk with displaying a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group classification, although the delta spot strength has weakened. NOAA 11944 produced only one low C-class flare since the last message, so the MM#003 Major Flare Watch ceases at this time. Further C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a chance for a flare above the M5 level still possible due to past flare behaviour of 11944.

The position of NOAA 11944 on 10-Jan-2014 at 19:30 UT is:

S09W39, ( 606", -99" )
