Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA region 11450 has decreased in number of spots as it nears the North West limb, most likely due to foreshortening effects, but has maintained area because of the dominating leading spot. This region has an alpha/H-type sunspot group classification and produced a C2.6 flare on 9-Apr-2012 at 01:11 UT. Further B-class events are expected, with a chance of more C-class activity before 11450 rotates over the North West limb.

The position of NOAA 11450 on 9-Apr-2012 at 09:00 UT is:

N15W80, ( 911", 263" )

See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
