Dear Collaborators,

There are now three numbered active regions on the visible solar disk, with a possible fourth emerging in the northeast quadrant. NOAA 12760 was the source of several A-class flares since the last message, while NOAA 12762 in the northwest quadrant produced a B1.3 flare at 12:09 UT today. NOAA 12762 has a highly inclined magnetic neutral line but its sunspots have almost decayed. NOAA 12760 shall therefore continue to be the target region for a further 24 hours, with additional A-level activity possible.

The position of NOAA 12760 on 30-Apr-2020 at 13:30 UT is:

S06W25, ( 401", -36" )

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.
