</address> <pre> </pre> <p> Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
<p>NOAA 0904 has decayed somewhat since the last message.  The large negative polarity leader sunspot has lost most of its opposite polarity satellite
spots.  The positive polarity trailer sunspot has lost area and elongated  
over the past couple of days. 0904 was the source of 3 C-class events: 
a very long-duration C3.6 peaking at 16:17 UT, a C3.5 at 18:47 (during the
decay of the C3.6) on the 16th and a C1.0 today at 04:30 UT. The C3.6 was associated with a large CME observed by SOHO/LASCO and a strong type IV 
radio event. B-class events certain, C-class events possible with only a
slight chance of an isolated M-class event.
<p>The position of NOAA 0904 on August 17 at 13:30 UT:
S12W23 (Solar X = 363&quot;, Solar Y = -297&quot;)
