Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity remains very low. The target region near
the South East limb has rotated onto the visible disk and displays
small spots in both its leading- and trailing-polarity fluxes. This
region is too close to the limb for an accurate classification, but
it should be confirmed as a beta/D-type sunspot group if the leading
and trailing polarity spots keep the penumbrae that images currently
show. This region produced the only flare since the last message - a
B3.2 on 23-Dec-2020 at 05:53 UT. More B-class flares are expected in
the following 24-hour period.

The approximate position of this region on 23-Dec-2020 at 15:00 UT is:

S18E73 , ( -888", -292" )

See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and
