Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 3276 (S22E66) has a simple C-type/beta sunspot group. The region trailing 3276 is most likely the source of most of the C- and M-class activity in the past few days. Both regions appear to have decayed. The target will switch back to NOAA 3272. 3272 has an E-type/beta-gamma sunspot group with many small sunspots. 3272 produced a few C-class events and an isolated M1.3 at 04/11/10:16 UT since the last message. C-class events likely with an isolated M-class event possible in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 3272 on April 11 at 15:30 UT is:
S22E15 (-230", -269")
