Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is high. The target region that is now
rotating over the South East limb has continued to produce flaring
activity since the last message, including multiple C-class flares
and an M5.3 on 4-May-2022 at 00:08 UT. NOAA region 13004 is close
to central meridian and classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group,
but is undergoing flux emergence and also produced an M5.7 flare
on 4-May-2022 at 08:45 UT. The Max Millennium Observing Plan #003
Major Flare Watch will remain on the South East limb region for a
further 24 hours due to its slightly higher level of past flaring
activity. Further M-class activity is probable over the following
24-hour period, with a chance for an additional X-class flare.

The approximate position of this region on 4-May-2022 at 14:00 UT is:

S30E85 , ( -821", -470" )
