Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low-to-moderate level. Target region NOAA
13004 remained stable in terms of spot area and number of spots
since the last message, retaining its beta-delta/D-type sunspot
classification. This region continued producing C-class flaring
activity since the last message, including the largest event of
the period (a C4.8 flare on 6-May-2022 at 16:15 UT. NOAA 13006
again showed signs of slight decay while also producing C-class
flares. The Max Millennium Observing Plan #003 Major Flare Watch
remains in effect on NOAA 13004 for a potentially final 24 hours,
depending on its subsequent evolution. Further C-class activity
is expected in the next 24 hours, with a small chance remaining
for another >=M5 flare.

The position of NOAA 13004 on 7-May-2022 at 15:00 UT is:

S16W50 , ( 704", -226" )
