Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA 13282 remained as the largest
spot group on the visible disk, but decayed in terms of sunspot area
since the last message. This region retained its classification as a
beta-gamma/E-type spot group and was the source of several low C-class
flares in the period. The target region remains beyond the North East
limb, but produced a footpoint-occulted C1.6 flare on 17-Apr-2023 at
21:43 UT. This limb location remains the target for a further 24 hours.
More C-class activity is expected over the following 24-hour period,
with a small chance for an M-class flare.

The approximate position of this region on 18-Apr-2023 at 15:00 UT is:

N24E90 , ( -872", 387" )
