Latest MM MOTD


MM#009 Default Target



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity remains at a very low level. The largest event 
since the last message was a C2.2 flare at 08/30/16:41 UT 
from the previous target NOAA 14513 (N04W70) that retains 
a beta/D-type configuration. The target region NOAA 14517, 
having a beta/E-type sunspot group, was flare quiet during the 
period. It is rotating over the west limb. Today we will continue 
to watch this region, for a final 24 hours. If possible, please 
also include NOAA 14513 in the field of view. Additional C-class 
activity is expected in the following 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 14517 on August 30 at 19:30 UT is:
N09W84 (933", 135")
