MM#009 Default Target

Dear Collaborators,

The first region with a sunspot group in about a month began emerging on September 1st at approximately 00:00 UT. The Cycle 24 EFR, numbered NOAA 2748, is currently displaying a small B-type/beta sunspot group, bright H-alpha plage and arch-type filaments. The default target will switch from the northwestern filament to NOAA 2748. No significant solar flare activity is expected in the next 24 hour period.

The position of NOAA 2748 on September 01 at 06:30 UT is: N13E32 (Solar X = -493", Solar Y = 114")

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.
