Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at an extremely low level. NOAA 12734 seemed to decay slightly as it rotated up to the North West limb, while also increasingly suffering from foreshortening effects. NOAA 12734 has retained an alpha/A-type sunspot group classification and remained flare quiet over the past 24 hours. No increase in flaring activity is expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12734 on 13-Mar-2019 at 14:30 UT is:
N08W80, ( 942", 154" )
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,
Shaun Bloomfield (Northumbria University)
