Dear Collaborators,

The target region NOAA 13078 was the source of two low M-class
flares (an M2.0 at 08/17/13:26 UT and an M1.0 at 08/17/14:28 UT)
and three C-class flares since the last message. A few low C-class
flares were also emergent from another two regions NOAA 13081
(N11W10, bata/C-type) and 13082 (N23E35, beta/D-type). 13078
retains its beta-gamma-delta/D-type configuration while decreasing
the sunspot area. It still emerges opposite magnetic fluxes in its core.
Additional low M-class flares are expected with a chance of an isolated
major flare in the next few days.

The position of NOAA 13078 on August 18 at 03:30 UT is:

S20W36 (524", -407")
