Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is moderate-to-high. Target NOAA 12860
has maintained number of spots and spot area, remaining classified
as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. NOAA 12860 has continued to
produce multiple C-class flares since the last message, including
a C7.4 flare and a C8.1 flare (the largest flare of the period) on
29-Aug-2021 at 00:24 UT and 09:54 UT respectively. Further C-class
flares are expected in the following 24-hour period with the Major
Flare Watch remaining in effect since NOAA 12860 has the potential
for M-class activity.

The position of NOAA 12860 on 29-Aug-2021 at 15:00 UT is:

S29W18 , ( 257", -557" )
