Dear RHESSI collaborators,

The primary target, NOAA 0508 (S17E65), has only been able to produce C-class events since the M4.5. Secondary target, NOAA 0501, (N03W13) produced an M9.6 event at 11/20/07:47 UT. NOAA 0507 (N09E54) is large and moderately complex but has been quiet since it rotated over the NE limb. 0501 has decayed somewhat but continues to maintain a tight delta configuration within the southern penumbra. 0486 (508, S17E65) has returned as a significantly smaller and much less complex region. All three regions are capable of producing a major flare.

The position of NOAA 0508 on November 20 at 14:30 UT: S17E65 (Solar X = -843", Solar Y = -299")
