Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has returned to a moderate level. The target region NOAA 13561 has produced multiple flares, with the largest being an M1.3 flare at 20:44 UT on 24-Jan-2024. 13561 retains a beta-gamma/D-type configuration. Today we shall end the Major Flare Watch campaign but the default target should remain with NOAA 13561. Please also include NOAA 13555 (S12W60, beta/C-type) in your field of view if possible, which was a source of 5 low-C flares. Further C-class activities are expected with a slight chance of a >M5 flare in the coming 24-hour period. The position of NOAA 13561 on 25-Jan-2024 at 12:30 UT is: S17W64 (839", -245") 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.
