solar disk is currently spotless. The spotless plage
default target is mostly unchanged. No noteworthy
solar flare activity expected anytime soon.
The position of the target on February 03 at 18:00 UT is:
N07E50 (Solar X = -742", Solar Y = 185")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2733 was the source of a couple of limb
occulted B-class events in the past 24 hour period. The
largest was a B1.8 at 02/01/09:13 UT. 2733 has now rotated
well beyond the the northwestern limb. The visible solar
disk is spotless. The target will switch to an old decayed
spotless plage located near the northeastern limb at N08.
No significant solar flare activity expected anytime soon.
The position of the target on February 01 at 17:00 UT is:
N08E77 (Solar X = -940", Solar Y = 158")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
The target region, NOAA 2733, has completed west
limb passage but it is still the source of several limb
occulted B-class events. The largest was a B7.2 at
01/31/00:58 UT. 2733 will remain the target for the
next 24 hours. There is a region located just beyond
the northeastern limb at N08 that produced a limb
occulted B1.3 event at 01/31/15:43 UT. This region
will most likely be the default target tomorrow.
The position of NOAA 2733 on January 31 at 14:30 UT is:
N04W91 (Solar X = 970", Solar Y = 065")

Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2733 was the source of numerous
B-class events and 3 C-class events since the last message.
The largest C-class event was a C5.2 at 01/30/06:11 UT.
2733 is now too close to the northwestern limb to ascertain
its magnetic configuration but it is likely that the emerging
opposite trailing positive polarity flux joined the leading
sunspot's negative polarity penumbra to form a small
magnetic delta configuration. B-class events probable
with the chance of another C-class event in the next 24
hour period.
The position of NOAA 2733 on January 30 at 14:30 UT is:
N05W85 (Solar X = 966", Solar Y = 093")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2733 was the source of numerous
B-class events and an isolated C1.9 event at 01/29/10:31 UT.
Trailing positive polarity flux emerged adjacent to the
southern edge of the large leading negative polarity sunspot's
penumbra resulting in an increase in activity located just
south of the leading sunspot. B-class activity probable
with a slight chance of another isolated C-class event in
the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2733 on January 29 at 18:00 UT is:
N06W72 (Solar X = 922", Solar Y = 131")

Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2733 has decayed significantly
especially within its intermediate and trailing sunspots.
2733 is now displaying a C-type sunspot group with a
beta magnetic configuration. The largest x-ray event
since the last message was a B1.1 at 01/28/01:04 UT.
A- and B-class events are possible with only a slight
chance of an isolated C-class event in the next 24
period.
The C5.0 event that 2733 produced on 01/26/2019
at 13:22 UT was the largest event since the C8.1
event produced by NOAA 2699 on February 7, 2018.
The position of NOAA 2733 on January 28 at 14:30 UT is:
N05W57 (Solar X = 815", Solar Y = 137")

Dear Collaborators,
The target region NOAA 12733 produced a few A- and B-class
events in the past 24 hours, the largest being a B8.6 at 16:14 UT
yesterday. 12733 retains its beta/D-type sunspot group. It is still
emerging some new magnetic fluxes. More B-class activities are
expected with a chance of an isolated low C-class flare in the next
24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 12733 on January 27 at 14:30 UT is:
N06W43 (662", 171")

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity has increased. The largest event
since the last message was a C5.0 at 13:13 UT today (only
two hours ago) produced by the target region NOAA 12733.
12733 was also the source of eight low level B-class flares.
This region retains its beta/D-type configuration, but increasing
in sunspot area and number of spots. It is emerging some
opposite polarity flux in its leading portion. Further B-class
activities are expected with a chance of another C-class event
in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12733 on January 26 at 14:30 UT is:
N06W29 (471", 184")

Dear Collaborators,
The target region NOAA 12733 was the source of numerous
(more than 20) A- and B-class events in the past 24 hours.
The largest event of the period was a B6.9 at 01/25/04:05 UT.
12733 has been classified as a beta/D-type configuration,
retaining its sunspot area and number of spots. It appears to
continue showing magnetic cancellations in its intermediate
portion. Further B-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12733 on January 25 at 14:30 UT is:
N06W16 (268", 191")
