Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. Target region NOAA
13165 has now rotated over the South West limb and produced only a
single C-class flare since the last message. NOAA region 13169 has
recently rotated into view over the North East limb and was first
numbered today, receiving a beta/D-type sunspot group designation
(although it might now display a beta-gamma configuration). NOAA
13169 has been the most flare-productive region in the period with
being the source of eight C-class flares and the largest event, an
M1.0 flare on 17-Dec-2022 at 19:40 UT. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch
terminates at this point, due to NOAA 13165 rotating out of view.
The target now switches to NOAA 13169. Further C-class activity is
expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for additional M-class
flaring.

The position of NOAA 13169 on 18-Dec-2022 at 16:00 UT is:

N20E67 , ( -845", 342" )
