Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13262 has been stable in terms of sunspot area and number of spots since the last message. This region has remained classified as an alpha/H-type sunspot group, and was flare quiet in the period. A new spot region is in the process of emerging near the central meridian, with early indications that it will be a beta magnetic configuration. This new region becomes the new target. C-class flares are possible over the following 24-hour period.
The approximate position of this region on 2-Apr-2023 at 17:30 UT is:
S23E00 , ( 0", -274" )
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.
