Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is at a low-to-moderate. The target
region NOAA 12936 has shown mixed signs of decay and new sunspot
development, remaining classified as a beta/E-type sunspot group.
This region continued producing only low C-class activity since
the last message, so the Max Millennium coordinated observing
plan #003 (Region Likely To Produce A Major Flare) will cease at
this time. Although NOAA 12936 is expected to produce additional
C-class activity, the target region switches to NOAA 12940. This
region is classified as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group and
has been the source of several low-to-mid C-class flares since
the last message. Further C-class activity is expected, with a
chance for a low M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 12940 on 2-Feb-2022 at 23:30 UT is:

N18E20 , ( -320", 394" )
