Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a very low level. NOAA 12776 has decayed
slightly since the last message, once again losing spot area.
This region has now been confirmed as an alpha/H-type sunspot
group and has been flare-quiet since yesterday's B3.6 event.
Several A-class events and the largest flare of the period (a
B3.5 flare on 20-Oct-2020 at 22:58 UT) were produced by a weak
flux region in the North West quadrant that currently displays
a few small pores. Additional low B-class flares are possible
over the following 24-hour period as this region rotates up to
the North West limb.

The approximate position of this region on 21-Oct-2020 at 18:00 UT is:

N29W80 , ( 831", 452" )
