Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity was at a moderate level. The largest event since the last message was an M2.5 flare at 22:03 UT on July 7 produced by a southeast limb region. This limb region also produced three ~M1 and a few ~C5 flares during the period. Today the target will switch to this limb region due to its high flare activity although it is still beyond the east limb mostly. Please note that yesterday's target NOAA 13738 (S09E40) retains a beta-gamma/E-type configuration and produced an M1.0 flare at 23:19 UT on July 7. More C-class activities are expected with a good chance of additional M-class flares from the new target and also NOAA 13738 in the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target on July 8 at 07:30 UT is: S24E87 (-900", -400") 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.
