MM#009 Default Target

[Max Millennium Chief Observer]

Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low-to-moderate level. Target region NOAA 13242
has decayed slightly since the last message, losing its delta spot but
developing internal polarity mixing to be classified as a beta-gamma/
E-type sunspot group. NOAA 13242 continued to produce C-class events
in the period. NOAA 13245 grew in terms of sunspot area and complexity
to be reclassified as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group also producing
C-class events as well as the largest magnitude flare - an M1.3 flare
on 8-Mar-2023 at 22:35 UT. NOAA 13245 becomes the new target region.
Further C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a
good chance for a low M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 13245 on 9-Mar-2023 at 15:00 UT is:

S23W01 , ( 17", -264" )
