Dear Collaborators,
Solar flare activity continues at a very low level with the GOES
soft X-ray flux at a background level. Target region NOAA 12728,
the only spotted region on the visible disk, remains steady without
flares occurring in the past 24 hours. Only very minor activities are
likely in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 12728 on November 26 at 14:30 UT is:
N06W26 (425", 79")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Solar flare activity has returned to a very low level. Target
region NOAA 2728 (B-type/beta) is decaying within its
leader polarity sunspots. Minor A-class events are possible
with only a slight chance of an isolated B-class event in
the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2728 on November 25 at 13:30 UT is:
N06W09 (Solar X = 152", Solar Y = 075")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
The southern polar zone target filament slowly disappeared
in the past 24 hour period. The new target will be NOAA 2728
(B-type/beta sunspot group). 2728 is an EFR located near
center sun. The EFR was the source of 6 minor A-class events
and a B1.1 event at 11/24/02:13 UT. 2728 developed rapidly
but now appears to have stabilized. Another B-class event is
possible in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2728 on November 24 at 13:45 UT is:
N06E04 (Solar X = -068", Solar Y = 073")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Deep solar minimum conditions continue. The visible solar disk
is spotless and plageless. Most of the eastern portion of the
target filament located in the southern polar zone disappeared
during the past 24 hour period. Portions of the filament may
continue to disappear in the next 24 hours.
The position of the center of the filament on Nov. 23 at 08:30 UT is:
S48W30 (Solar X = 326", Solar Y = -742")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar flare activity continues extremely low. The visible
solar disk is currently spotless. NOAA 2727 has rotated well beyond
the west limb. The target will switch to a filament located in the southern
polar zone. The center of the 40 degree long filament is currently showing
an active phase. The activation may continue until this portion of the
filament disappears.
The position of the target filament on November 22 at 07:45 UT is:
S50W20 (Solar X = 214", Solar Y = -766")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Solar flare activity continues at an extremely low level. The visible
solar disk is currently spotless. Target region 2727 has completed
west limb passage but will remain the target location at the west
limb. No significant solar flare activity expected anytime soon.
The position of NOAA 2727 on November 21 at 14:30 UT is:
N01W91 (Solar X = 970", Solar Y = 017")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Solar flare activity has been at an extremely low level since
the minor A7.6 event on 11/18/08:03 UT. Target region NOAA 2727
has continued to decay and is now spotless as it nears west limb
passage. The visible solar disk is also spotless. No significant solar
flare activity is expected anytime soon.
The position of NOAA 2727 on November 20 at 14:30 UT is:
N01W80 (Solar X = 956", Solar Y = 010")

Dear Collaborators,
NOAA 2727 (B-type/beta) is rapidly decaying. 2727 was the
source of two minor A-class events since the last message.
The largest was an A7.6 at 11/18/08:03 UT. No significant
solar flare activity expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2727 on November 19 at 14:30 UT is:
N01W66 (Solar X = 888", Solar Y = 000")

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is extremely low. NOAA 12727 began
to decay again after the last message, decreasing in number of
spots. 12727 is now classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group,
but appears to have lost penumbra on one polarity. No flares
have occurred since the last message, with no increase in flare
activity expected over the following 24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 12727 on 18-Nov-2018 at 18:00 UT is:
N01W52, ( 767", -8" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at an extremely low level. NOAA 12727 began
to decay after the last message, but has since grown in spot
area within its trailing polarity. 12727 is now classified as
a beta/B-type sunspot group, but renewed growth seems to have
reinstated some penumbra (changing it to a C-type). No flares
have occurred since the last message and there is no increase
in activity expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12727 on 17-Nov-2018 at 16:00 UT is:
N01W38, ( 598", -17" )
