Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. NOAA 12882 has remained stable since the last message, continuing to be classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. Target NOAA 12885 has now rotated close to the North West limb, making classification of its magnetic complexity and morphology impossible. NOAA 12885 produced the largest flare since the last message - a B9.7 on 15-Oct-2021 at 15:01 UT. The target remains as the limb-crossing location of NOAA 12885 for the next 24 hours, but observers should try to include NOAA 12882 within their field-of-view if at all possible. Further B-class activity is expected, with a chance for a low C-class flare as NOAA 12885 crosses the North West limb. The position of NOAA 12885 on 15-Oct-2021 at 16:00 UT is: N15W90 , ( 929", 248" ) 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. Regards, Shaun Bloomfield (Northumbria University)
