The target region NOAA 13234 was the source of an M8.6 flare at 17:35 UT yesterday, as well as numerous C-class flares. The region continues to undergo flux emergence, particularly in its core. The trailing spots continue to display rotational behavior, which may lead to further sheering around the delta spot. The Major Flare Watch shall remain in effect for a further 24 hours due to the increased possibility of another >M5 flare. The position of NOAA 13234 on 1-Mar-2023 at 12:30 UT is: N25W43, ( 599", 487" ) 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.
