MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2790 was the source of a
long duration C1.6 x-ray event at 12/05/00:38 UT.
The optical flare was associated with an active/eruptive
filament running along the region's U-shaped magnetic
inversion line. 2790 added a few tiny trailing polarity
spots in the past 24 hours. B-class events probable
with a slight chance of another C-class event in the
next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2790 on December 05 at 11:00 UT is:
S23E20 (Solar X = -308", Solar Y = -386")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
The largest event since the last message was a C1.4 event
at 12/03/23:59 UT produced by target region NOAA 2790.
2790 decayed significantly losing its trailing polarity spots.
2790 is currently displaying an H-type/alpha sunspot group.
B-class events probable with a slight chance of another
C-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2790 on December 04 at 15:00 UT is:
S23E31 (Solar X = -463", Solar Y = -387")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region 2790 has decayed slightly since the last
message. A filament running along and south of the
region's main magnetic inversion line has been active
in the past 24 hours. 2790 was the source of a C1.2
event at 12/03/10:00 UT. NOAA 2786 produced the
largest event (C1.7 at 12/03/01:56 UT) in the past 24
hour period. B- and C-class events possible in the
next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2790 on December 03 at 11:45 UT is:
S24E45 (Solar X = -631", Solar Y = -403")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
The target region is now numbered NOAA 2790. 2790
added a few small leading and trailing polarity spots
adjacent to the leader sunspot. 2790 was the source of
only two minor B-class events since the last message but
appears to have a somewhat unstable magnetic configuration.
The largest event in the past 24 hours was a C1.4 event
at 12/01/23:20 UT produced by NOAA 2786. B- and C-class
events possible in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2790 on December 02 at 11:00 UT is:
S23E58 (Solar X = -762", Solar Y = -387")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
The active region that was the source of the M4.4
event on November 29 at 13:15 UT has now completed
east limb passage. The region is currently displaying an
unimpressive C-type/beta sunspot group. It is likely the
region rapidly decayed after the M4 event. The region
produced several B-class events and two C-class events
since the last message. The largest was a C3.8 event at
12/01/04:27 UT. B- and C-class events probable with a
slight chance of an isolated M-class event.
The position of the target on December 01 at 11:00 UT is:
S23E73 (Solar X = -858", Solar Y = -384")

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
Dear Collaborators,
The target region produced a couple of minor limb occulted
B-class events since the last message. A single round
trailing polarity sunspot which is most likely the return of
old NOAA 2781 has completed east limb passage at S20
degrees. The long duration M4.4 event yesterday was the
strongest flare event of Cycle 25. There is a chance of
another M-class event in the next 48 hours.
The approximate position of the target on Nov. 30 at 09:30 UT is:
S24E89 (Solar X = -889", Solar Y = -396")

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
Dear Collaborators,
At this time we are implementing Max Millennium coordinated
observing plan #003 (Region Likely To Produce A Major Flare).
A region located beyond the southeastern limb was the source
of a limb occulted M4.4 event at 11/29/13:11 UT. The region
is located in the vicinity of the return of old NOAA 2781.
A well developed system of flare loop-type prominences is
currently visible on the southeastern limb. Another M-class
event is possible in the next 48 hours.
The approximate position of the target on Nov. 29 at 13:15 UT is:
S23E89 (Solar X = -896, Solar Y = -380")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region 2786 has decayed somewhat since the
last message but its sunspot group is still classified
as an F-type/beta-gamma group. 2786 was the source
of several minor B- and C-class events in the past 24
hours. The largest was a C2.9 at 11/28/13:35 UT.
B- and C-class events likely with the chance of an
isolated M-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2786 on November 28 at 15:00 UT is:
S17E20 (Solar X =-320", Solar Y =-303")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2786 produced several minor
B- and C-class events since the last message. The
largest was a C3.8 at 11/26/12:53 UT. The large
leader sunspot's penumbra in its F-type/beta-gamma
sunspot group has some opposite polarity satellite
spots surrounding it. B- and C-class events expected
with the chance of an isolated M-class event in the
next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2786 on November 27 at 15:00 UT is:
S17E34 (Solar X = -522", Solar Y = -303")

Dear Collaborators,
The target region NOAA 12786 has continued to produce B- and C-level
activity since the last message, including a C3.8 flare at 12:42 UT
today. The region retains its beta configuration but now has a sunspot
area of 1000uH. The dominant leader spot appears stable but flux
emergence continues in the trailing portion. Further
low-to-intermediate level activity expected over the next 24 hours,
with continued possibility of an M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12786 on 26-Nov-2020 at 12:30 UT is:
S17E46, ( -670", -300" )
