Dear Collaborators,
The target spotless region produced a ~B1.2 two-ribbon flare at 17:12 UT yesterday, which was associated with a filament eruption and accompanied by a CME. We will continue watching this region today as a filament reappears in this region. There was another ~B1.0 flare produced by NOAA 12770 that only shows some overlying loops above the northwest limb. Very low-level activities are possible in the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target on August 17 at 09:00 UT is:
S32E16 (-240", -580")
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.
