MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 3053 (N15E03) has decayed somewhat and was quiescent. NOAA 3055 (S17E13) is a large region with an impressive E-type/beta sunspot group but was only able to produce a single minor C1.7 event since the last message. We will switch the target to newly emerged NOAA 3056. 3056 was the source of 5 C-class events and 2 M-class events since the last message. The largest was an M1.3 at 07/10/23:43 UT. 3056 is currently displaying a small D-type/beta sunspot group with a possible magnetic delta configuration located within the leading sunspot. C-class events expected with the chance of another M-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 3056 on July 11 at 09:00 UT is: S17E62 (Solar X = -799", Solar Y = -305")
