MM#009 Default Target

[Max Millennium Chief Observer]

Dear Collaborators,

NOAA 13234 has now rotated beyond the northwest limb, but was the
source of a partially-occulted M5.3 flare at 15:19 UT yesterday, as
well as several C-class flares. We shall terminate the Major Flare
Watch campaign at this time and the new default target region shall be
NOAA 13242 in the northeast quadrant, which has also produced C-level
activity as well as an isolated M1.2 flare yesterday. The region is
classified as a beta/C-type region and appears to be in decay, but may
produce further C-level activity over the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13242 on 5-Mar-2023 at 08:30 UT is:

N10E34, ( -534", 267" )
