Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is moderate. The target region has
rotated onto the visible disk and is now numbered as NOAA 13234.
This region has been designated as a beta/D-type sunspot group,
but this may be affected by foreshortening due to its proximity
to the limb. This region has continued to produce multiple high
C-class flares since the last message, as well as the largest
flare of the period - an M4.7 on 21-Feb-2023 at 11:14 UT. The
MM#003 Major Flare Watch will continue on NOAA 13234. Further
M-class activity is probable in the following 24-hour period.

The position of NOAA 13234 on 21-Feb-2023 at 18:30 UT is:

N24E66 , ( -811", 436" )
