Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13460 has again remained stable since the last message, continuing to be classified as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group. NOAA 13460 did not produce any flares in the period while NOAA 13464 (a beta/C-type group) produced a single flare that was the largest magnitude (a C3.9 on 15-Oct-2023 at 16:22 UT), and so becomes the new target. More C-class flares are likely in the following 24-hour period. The position of NOAA 13464 on 15-Oct-2023 at 20:00 UT is: N04W02 , ( 35", -31" ) 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.
