MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2786 was the source of numerous
B-class events and an isolated C3.4 event at 11/25/04:02 UT.
The region has completed east limb passage revealing a few
trailing sunspots with rudimentary penumbra. Its current
sunspot group classification is an elongated C-type/beta.
The longitudinal extent of the sunspot group exceeds 15
degrees. B- and C-class events probable with an isolated
M-class event possible in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2786 on November 25 at 15:00 UT is:
S17E60 (Solar X = -807", Solar Y = -297")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
NOAA 2785 (S23E58, X=-761", Y=-394" at 15:00 UT)
was the source of a C4.3 event at 11/23/23:37 UT.
The flare was associated with the eruption of a
filament located along the region's main magnetic
inversion line. 2785 is maintaining it's simple H-type/alpha
sunspot classification. A trailing sunspot in target region
NOAA 2786 has rotated onto the visible disk but the region
is still too close to the limb to ascertain its magnetic
complexity. A few bright and dark surges have been visible
again today. If possible, include the intermediate and
trailing portion of 2785 along with 2786 within the F-O-V.
C-class events probable with an isolated M-class event
possible in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2786 on November 24 at 15:00 UT is:
S17E73 (Solar X = -890", Solar Y = -292")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region now numbered NOAA 2785 produced
numerous B-class events and a C3.3 event at 11/23/17:31 UT.
2785 is mostly unchanged, maintaining its H-type/alpha
sunspot group. A large leader sunspot has passed
over the southeastern limb just northeast of 2785. The region
has been numbered 2786 by NOAA. It is currently displaying
many bright limb surges. 2786 was the source of a limb
occulted C1.2 event at 11/22/23:56 UT. The target will switch to
2786. If possible, include 2785 (S23E70, X= -842", Y= -390"
at 15:00 UT) in the F-O-V. C-class events probable with the
chance of an isolated M-class event in the next 24 hour
period. New flux emerged yesterday within the trailing portion
of NOAA 2783 at S20E03. Its sunspots have developed
into a C-type/beta group.
The position of NOAA 2786 on November 23 at 15:00 UT is:
S18E85 (Solar X = -921", Solar Y = -303")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is increasing due to the appearance of the new active
region currently behind the southeast limb. It has continued to
produce B-level activity since the last message, as well as two
occulted C1.3 flares today. Its magnetic configuration is still
unclear at this time but it shall remain the target region for the
next 24 hours with low-to-intermediate level activity likely.
The approximate position of the target region on 22-Nov-2020 at 16:30 UT is:
S22E87, ( -899", -365" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. NOAA region 12783 has remained
stable in terms of its number of spots and spot area since the last
message. This region continues to be classified as an alpha/H-type
sunspot group and has produced two B-class flares over the past 24
hours. A new region that is still located over the South East limb
has produced multiple B-class flares and the largest event of the
period - an occulted C1.0 flare on 21-Nov-2020 at 18:10 UT. This
limb region will become the new target. Further B-class activity is
expected in the following 24-hour period, with low C-class activity
also likely.
The approximate position of this region on 21-Nov-2020 at 18:00 UT is:
S23E90 , ( -894", -379" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased since the last message. Despite remaining
unchanged in terms of size and complexity, the target region NOAA
12783 produced several B-class flares as well as a C1.9 flare at 16:44
UT today from the trailing part of the region. Further B-level
activity likely over the next 24 hours with chance for an additional
C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12783 on 20-Nov-2020 at 16:30 UT is:
S22E30, ( -451", -393" )

Dear Collaborators,
Quiet-Sun conditions continue. The alpha region NOAA 12783 has
remained quiescent and unchanged since the last message. It shall
remain the target region for a further 24 hours although no change in
activity is expected at this time.
The position of NOAA 12783 on 19-Nov-2020 at 12:30 UT is:
S23E46, ( -644", -404" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux has remained beneath the B1 level since the last
message. The target region in the southeast quadrant has been
designated as NOAA 12783 and is classified as having an alpha/H-type
configuration. The region appears to be in a state of decay and any
significant increase in activity over the next 24 hours is unlikely.
The position of NOAA 12783 on 18-Nov-2020 at 12:30 UT is:
S22E61, ( -788", -382" )

Dear Collaborators,
NOAA 12782 has remained quiescent since the last message. A new region
with a pronounced sunspot and dynamic coronal activity has rotated
onto the southeast limb. The region is currently unnumbered but shall
be the new target region. Chance for an increase in activity over the
next 24 hours as the region rotates onto the visible solar disk.
The approximate position of the target region on 17-Nov-2020 at 12:30 UT is:
S22E74, ( -866", -374" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at low levels. There has been some B-level
activity since the last message, mostly from the region now beyond the
western limb (formerly NOAA 12781), as well as a B2.7 flare at 06:19
UT today from the target region NOAA 12782. The target region remains
spotless as it crosses the central meridian, but may produce another
isolated low-level event over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12782 on 16-Nov-2020 at 12:30 UT is:
S31E04, ( -58", -539" )
