Dear Collaborators,

Yesterday's target region NOAA 12772 only produced an A2.1 flare
in the past 24 hours. This region has been classified as a beta/B-type
configuration, slightly decreasing in the sunspot area and number of
spots. Today the target will switch to a plage region in the southeast
quadrant, which was the source of several A-class events as well as
a B1.6 flare (at 01:58 UT today). Further A-class activities are possible
with a chance of a B-class event in the next 24 hours.

The approximate position of the target on August 21 at 11:00 UT is:

S31E48 (-590", -520")
