Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13068 has
slightly decayed since the last message, but remains classified
as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. This region has continued
producing C-class flares, totalling three events and the largest
being a C4.9 on 5-Aug-2022 at 06:29 UT. A new region has begun
emerging slightly south of yesterday's newly numbered NOAA 13072
(itself located slightly south east of NOAA 13068), with the new
unnumbered region already producing a C5.5 flare on 5-Aug-2022
at 05:56 UT that was the largest event in the period. The target
remains on NOAA 13068 due to its more extensive flaring history
and the complexity of the new unnumbered region being currently
unknown. Additional C-class activity is expected in the next 24
hours.

The position of NOAA 13068 on 5-Aug-2022 at 13:00 UT is:

S15W46 , ( 660", -311" )
