Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is at a low-to-moderate. Target region
NOAA 13451 grew slightly since the last message, being reclassified
into a beta-gamma/E-type group. This region again produced a number
of C-class flares in the period but the largest flare (an M1.7 on
7-Oct-2023 at 17:57 UT, just after yesterday's email was sent) came
from NOAA 13460, an numbered sunspot group at that time. NOAA 13460
was initially designated as an alpha/A-type at the start of the UT
day, but it was at a very early point in its emergence - 13460 now
appears to be a beta-gamma/D-type configuration. Additional C-class
activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a good chance for
another low M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 13460 on 8-Oct-2023 at 18:00 UT is:

S11E25 , ( -401", -277" )
