Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at an extremely low level. The visible solar disk
is devoid of sunspots, while images from STEREO-A show that there are no
active regions situated beyond the Earth-viewed East limb. No flares have
occurred since the last message, and no change in activity is expected in
the next 24 hours. At this point the Max Millennium target changes focus
to specifically support the 7th perihelion passage of Parker Solar Probe
(PSP encounter 7). The target is the expected magnetic-footpoint location
of PSP that is currently modelled as being located just beyond the North
East limb.
The approximate position of this region on 8-Jan-2021 at 23:00 UT is:
N30E90 , ( -844", 486" )
See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and

for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
