Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. The target region has now rotated onto
the visible disk and, although it shows leading and trailing sunspots both
with penumbrae (potentially a beta/D-type classification), it has remained
unnumbered at the beginning of the UT day. An additional region containing
larger sunspots is rotating over the North East limb just slightly behind
yesterday's target region. Several of the flares associated to yesterday's
target region may have actually come from the new limb-crossing region and
it has clearly produced several C-class flares since the last message. The
target region switches to the newer (and larger) spot region rotating over
the North East limb. Further C-class flaring is expected over the following
24-hour period.

The approximate position of this region on 23-Mar-2022 at 23:00 UT is:

N13E85 , ( -924", 235" )
