Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is moderate-to-high. Target NOAA 12887 decayed somewhat since the last message, although it was reported as increasing in magnetic complexity to beta-gamma/C-type sunspot group classification at the start of the UT day. NOAA 12891 showed minor evolution since the last message, but produced a C2.0 flare and the largest event of the period - an M1.7 flare on 2-Nov-2021 at 02:57 UT. NOAA 12891 becomes the new target region. Additional C-class activity is probable in the following 24-hour period, with a chance for another M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12891 on 2-Nov-2021 at 16:30 UT is:
N16W06 , ( 98", 199" )
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.
