Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at a low level. Several flares were produced, the largest being a C5.4 at 18:42 UT yesterday from NOAA 14493. This region has now reduced in complexity and is currently classified as a beta-gamma type region. While the overall spot size of the region has continued to increase, the emerging flux from this region appears to have reduced. At this time, we are ending the major flare watch, NOAA 14493 will remain as the target region. Further C-class activity is expected.

The position of NOAA 14493 on 23-July-2026 at 11:30 UT is:

N05W26, (413", 7") 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.
