Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at a very low level since the last message, with only a B1.8 flare produced by NOAA 12793. Yesterday's target NOAA 12792 has decayed to a plage region and has been flare quiet. Today the target will switch to NOAA 12793 that remains its beta/ B-type configuration. B-class flares are probable in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12793 on December 17 at 04:30 UT is:
S15E32 (-500", -236")
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.
Regards,
Ying Li (Purple Mountain Observatory)
