MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear Collaborators,

The target region produced a couple of minor limb occulted B-class events since the last message. A single round trailing polarity sunspot which is most likely the return of old NOAA 2781 has completed east limb passage at S20 degrees. The long duration M4.4 event yesterday was the strongest flare event of Cycle 25. There is a chance of another M-class event in the next 48 hours.

The approximate position of the target on Nov. 30 at 09:30 UT is: S24E89 (Solar X = -889", Solar Y = -396")

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.
