Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is extremely low. The target region is now designated as NOAA 12886, and it has been confirmed as an alpha/H-type sunspot group. This region has been essentially flare quiet, with only low A-class events recorded since the last message. B-class flares may be possible over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12886 on 19-Oct-2021 at 13:00 UT is:
S19E54 , ( -737", -365" )
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.
