Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at a quiet condition with the soft X-ray flux flat at ~A3 since the last message. At present there are two regions with sunspots (NOAA 12896 and 12897) on the visible solar disk, both of which have an Alpha/H-type magnetic configuration. The target region NOAA 12897 continues to decay and no notable events are expected in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12897 on November 21 at 04:30 UT is: N17E01 (-16", 250") 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.
