Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a moderate level. Target region NOAA 13190 was
relatively stable in terms of sunspot area and complexity since the
last message, remaining classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot
group and producing just a single flare in the period - a C7.3 on
19-Jan-2023 at 05:26 UT. Newly numbered region NOAA 13196 emerged
yesterday to the East of NOAA 13192 and has already produced three
C-class and two M-class events, the largest being an M1.7 flare on
19-Jan-2023 at 10:06 UT (which was also the largest magnitude flare
in the period). The target will now change to NOAA 13196 as it is
still emerging magnetic flux, and there are another two small spot
regions that are in the process of emerging near to it in the North
East quadrant. Additional C-class flares are expected over the next
24 hours, with a good chance for more M-class activity.

The position of NOAA 13196 on 19-Jan-2023 at 14:30 UT is:

N12E36 , ( -562", 269" )
