Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is extremely low. NOAA 12727 began to decay again after the last message, decreasing in number of spots. 12727 is now classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group, but appears to have lost penumbra on one polarity. No flares have occurred since the last message, with no increase in flare activity expected over the following 24-hour period.

The position of NOAA 12727 on 18-Nov-2018 at 18:00 UT is:

N01W52, ( 767", -8" )

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.
