Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. Target NOAA 13213 has now rotated over the North West limb. This region continued to be the most flare-productive region since the last message, being the source of several C-class and three low M-class flares, including the largest magnitude flare in the period - an M2.0 on 15-Feb-2023 at 05:16 UT. The Major Flare Watch will remain in effect for a final 24 hours on the limb location where 13213 has exited the disk, as this region's high-lying loops are still visible. More C-class flares are expected in the following 24-hour period, with a chance for another M-class flare. The disk-exiting limb position of NOAA 13213 on 15-Feb-2023 at 19:30 UT is: N28W90 , ( 856", 459" ) 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.
