Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low level. The target region near the North East
limb has rotated on disk but was flare quiet since the last message. It
remained unnumbered at the start of the UT day, but appears to have a
small sunspot in its leading polarity flux and an overall beta magnetic
configuration. NOAA 13463 (an alpha/A-type sunspot group) was the most
flare-productive region in the period with two C-class flares including
the largest magnitude flare - a C2.2 on 17-Oct-2023 at 04:27 UT. NOAA
13463 becomes the target. C-class flares are probable in the following
24-hour period.

The position of NOAA 13463 on 17-Oct-2023 at 18:00 UT is:

S17W40 , ( 592", -351" )
