MM#009 Default Target

Dear Collaborators,

Target region NOAA 3014 continues in decay phase. Its large E-type sunspot group's magnetic delta configuration has significantly weakened again since the last message and will likely disappear in the next 24 hours. 3014 was mostly quiescent producing only a few minor C-class events since the last message. At this time we will terminate the MFW but keep 3014 as the preferred default target. C-class events likely with a slight chance of an isolated M-class event in the next 24 hour period.

The position of NOAA 3014 on May 25 at 10:45 UT is: N23W67 (Solar X = 804", Solar Y = 379")

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.
