</address> <pre> </pre> <p> Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
<p>NOAA 11429 was the source of an M6.3 flare at 03:22 UT today as it crossed
the central meridian. The region has begun to show signs of decay with its
sunspot area dropping below 1000 uh although it retains its
beta-gamma-delta configuration with a highly sheared magnetic inversion
line. Good chance of another event of magnitude M5 or greater over the next
24-48 hours. <p>The position of NOAA 11429 on 9-Mar-2012 at 10:00 UT is:
<p>N17W05, ( 82&quot;, 398&quot; )
