MM#009 Default Target

[Max Millennium Chief Observer]

Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has continued at low levels since the last message.
Yesterday's target region NOAA 13245 (S23W64) was quiescent
during the period and has been downgraded to an alpha/H-type
sunspot group. The largest event in the past 24 hours was a C3.0
flare at 05:52 UT today produced by NOAA 13250 (S18W15,
beta/D-type) which was also the source of another C1 flare. The
nearby region NOAA 13253 (S29W22) was more active, producing
one high B- and two low C-class flares today, with emerging new
sunspots in the period. 13253 continues to undergo positive flux
emergence and shall be the new target. If possible, please also
include NOAA 13250 in your field of view. Further C-class activities
are expected in the following 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13253 on 14-Mar-2023 at 12:30 UT is:

S29W22 (317", -367")
