Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate level. Target region NOAA 13341 has been quite stable in terms of number of spots and spot area since the last message, but has decreased in its designation of magnetic complexity to a beta/C-type sunspot group. NOAA 13341 remained the most flare-productive region, being the source of multiple C-class flares and the largest magnitude flare in the period - another M1.1 on 22-Jun-2023 at 10:57 UT. NOAA 13341 will continue as the MM#003 Major Flare Watch target for at least another 24 hours. Further low M-class flares are probable in the next 24 hours, with a chance for an isolated >M5 or X-class flare. The position of NOAA 13341 on 22-Jun-2023 at 18:00 UT is: S15E38 , ( -564", -268" ) 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.
