Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. NOAA 12882 has remained
stable since the last message, continuing to be classified
as a beta/C-type sunspot group. Target NOAA 12885 has now
rotated close to the North West limb, making classification
of its magnetic complexity and morphology impossible. NOAA
12885 produced the largest flare since the last message - a
B9.7 on 15-Oct-2021 at 15:01 UT. The target remains as the
limb-crossing location of NOAA 12885 for the next 24 hours,
but observers should try to include NOAA 12882 within their
field-of-view if at all possible. Further B-class activity
is expected, with a chance for a low C-class flare as NOAA
12885 crosses the North West limb.

The position of NOAA 12885 on 15-Oct-2021 at 16:00 UT is:

N15W90 , ( 929", 248" )
