Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13112 has now rotated its spots over the North West limb and was finally classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group, although this was heavily influenced by foreshortening effects. This region was once again the most flare-productive region, being the source of C-class flares including the largest magnitude event in the period, a long-duration C6.1 flare on 15-Oct-2022 at 14:07 UT. C-class flares are probable in the following 24-hour period, with NOAA 13112 remaining the target region for a final 24 hours until its high-lying coronal loops rotate out of view.
The limb-departing position of NOAA 13112 on 15-Oct-2022 at 18:00 UT is:
N23W90 , ( 885", 374" )
See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
