MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is maintaining an extremely low level. The visible solar disk is currently spotless and plageless. Solar activity is expected to continue at an extremely low level for the first half of the next 24 hour period. The level of solar activity should increase somewhat when old NOAA 2738 rotates closer to and onto the northeastern limb on May 03-04. The leading portion of the target filament disappeared since the last message. The remaining trailing segment may also disappear in the next 24 hours.
The position of the filament target on May 02 at 06:45 UT is: N45W14 (Solar X = 163", Solar Y = 720")
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.
Regards,
Bill Marquette (Helio Research)
