Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is very low. The target region NOAA
12776 has decayed over the past 24 hours, losing spot coverage
in its trailing polarity flux. Although it was classified as a
beta/C-type sunspot group at the start of the UT day, NOAA 12776
now appears to be an alpha/H-type sunspot group. This region has
continued to produce A-class flares as well as the largest event
since the last message, a B3.6 flare on 20-Oct-2020 at 13:18 UT.
Further low B-class flares are possible in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 12776 on 20-Oct-2020 at 18:00 UT is:

S13W13 , ( 212", -303" )
