Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. The target region at the North West limb has rotated beyond Earth view. The plage region that used to be NOAA 13467 produced the largest flare since the last message, a C2.8 on 21-Oct-2023 at 00:00 UT. Newly numbered NOAA 13469 (a beta/D-type group) was the only spotted region showing any flux emergence, and this becomes the new target. C-class activity is probable over the following 24-hour period. The position of NOAA 13469 on 21-Oct-2023 at 18:30 UT is: N27W47 , ( 628", 382" ) 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.
