Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at an extremely low level. A new small flux region is currently emerging in the North East quadrant, including signs of pores. This will not become the target region today, but its progress will be monitored over the next 24 hours. The target region NOAA 12776 has been stable since the last message, continuing to be classified as an alpha/ H-type sunspot group. This region has again produced low A-class events, with no change in flaring activity expected over the following 24-hour period.

The position of NOAA 12776 on 23-Oct-2020 at 18:00 UT is:

S14W55 , ( 768", -281" )

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.
