Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity remains at a high level since the last message as NOAA
13386 produced a partially occulted X1.5 flare at 20:30 UT yesterday.
Moreover, NOAA 13387, a beta type region, has been the site of
numerous M- and C-class flares in the last 24 hours, with the largest
being an M3.6 at 09:20 UT today. NOAA 13386 has passed further beyond
the northwest limb and will remain the target region. The Major Flare
Watch campaign will continue for a further 24 hours due to a slight
chance of another partially occulted >M5.0 event.

The position of NOAA 13386 on 08-Aug-2023 at 11:30 UT is approximately:

N12W90, (925", 195")
