Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. Target region NOAA
13243 has now rotated fully out of view over the North West limb.
Several spotted regions were the source of C-class activity since
the last message, but NOAA 13242 (classed as a beta-delta/E-type
sunspot group) produced the largest magnitude flare - an M1.2 on
8-Mar-2023 at 09:53 UT. At this point the MM#003 Major Flare Watch
comes to an end. More C-class flares are expected in the following
24-hour period, with a chance for another low M-class.

The position of NOAA 13242 on 8-Mar-2023 at 20:00 UT is:

N10W13 , ( 216", 285" )
