Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity remains extremely low. One of the weak
flux regions in the Southern hemisphere has developed pores in its
leading and trailing polarities since the last message. However, no
significant flares have occurred. No change in flaring activity is
expected in the next 24 hours. The Max Millennium Program continues
supporting the coordination of observations for the 7th perihelion
passage of PSP that is now at the stage where it's orbiting faster
than solar rotation. The target region follows the model-consensus
magnetic-footpoint of PSP that remains located in the North East
quadrant.

The approximate position of this region on 15-Jan-2021 at 23:00 UT is:

N31E18 , ( -259", 567" )
