Dear Collaborators,
NOAA 12866/12868 has rotated beyond the west limb. Today the target will switch to a new region near the east limb. This region has produced a B2.3 flare as well as a C3.5 just in the past two hours. Further B- and C-class activities are expected with a chance of an M-class flare if this region had a complex magnetic configuration.
The approximate position of the limb target on September 17 at 05:00 UT is:
S30E85 (-880", -400")
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.
