Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a high level. Target region NOAA 13165 has increased in magnetic complexity from yesterday to now be classed as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group. This region continued to be the most flare-productive region on disk and was the source of several M-class events following yesterday's M6.3, the largest of which was an M3.2 on 14-Dec-2022 at 14:54 UT. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch will continue on NOAA 13165 because there remains a good chance for another flare >= M5. The position of NOAA 13165 on 15-Dec-2022 at 16:30 UT is: S20W58 , ( 778", -326" ) 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.
