Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has been at a low level since the last message, with
low C-class flares from NOAA 13234. However, the region has increased
in size and complexity, and is now classified as a beta-gamma-delta
region due to mixed polarities within the trailing sunspot. This
portion of the active region also appears to be coalescing and
rotating which may introduce significant sheering along the polarity
inversion line. As such we are implementing a Major Flare Watch
campaign at this time due to the increased possibility of a M5 flare
or greater over the next 24-48 hours.

The position of NOAA 13234 on 28-Feb-2023 at 12:30 UT is:

N25W29, ( 426", 503" )
