Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. The target region has rotated further onto the visible disk and has now been designated as NOAA 12770. This region currently shows a beta/C-type sunspot group classification, but identification of possible penumbra on its trailing-polarity spots is compromised by foreshortening effects close to the limb. NOAA 12770 has continued producing A-class activity in the past 24 hours, but more low B-class flares are possible over the next 24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 12770 on 4-Aug-2020 at 13:00 UT is:
N21E65 , ( -801", 298" )
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.
