Dear Collaborators,
Solar minimum conditions have returned with the visible solar disk now spotless. There has been no notable activity since the last message. The remnants of NOAA 12795 have remained quiescent as it nears the western limb, but it shall be the target region for a further 24 hours. No increase in activity expected before west limb passage.
The position of NOAA 12795 on 3-Jan-2021 at 12:30 UT is:
S18W75, ( 897", -287" )
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.
