MM#009 Default Target



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at a very low level. Yesterday's target 
NOAA 14307 (S15W67) only produced two ~C1 flares (C1.4 
and C1.0) during the period. It retains a beta/D-type configuration 
but begins to decrease in the sunspot area and number of spots. 
Today the target will switch to a northeast limb region which 
produced three C-class flares including the largest one, a C1.9 
at 13:47 UT yesterday. Additional C-class activities are expected 
in the next 24 hours.

The approximate position of the target on December 17 at 12:30 UT is:
N19E88 (-920", 300")
