MM#009 Default Target

[Max Millennium Chief Observer]

Dear Collaborators,

Since the last message, a number of C1 flares were produced near the
southeast limb by the region moving onto the disk, which is now
identified as NOAA 13489. However, a partially occulted M1.2 flare was
produced from a currently unnumbered active region behind the
northeast limb at 05:37 UT today. The X-ray background irradiance
level has begun to increase significantly. The target region will
switch to the new active region near the northeast limb for the next
24 hours. Further C-class activity is likely, with a chance for an
additional M-class flare.

The approximate position of the new target region on 18-Nov-2023 at 12:30 UT is:

N23E85, (-890", 376")
