Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is moderate. Target region NOAA 13423
has been stable in sunspot area and number of spots since the last
message, but was confirmed as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group at
the start of the UT day. This region has only produced one C-class
flare in the period, while NOAA regions 13429 (a beta/C-type) was
the source of an M1.4 flare on 11-Sep-2023 at 01:08 UT and 13431
(a beta/D-type) produced two M1.1 flares on 11-Sep-2023 at 03:58
UT and 14:38 UT. The target switches to NOAA 13431 which appears
to have a more mixed polarity configuration. C-class activity is
expected in the next 24 hours, with a good chance for additional
low-to-mid M-class flares.

The position of NOAA 13431 on 11-Sep-2023 at 22:00 UT is:

S08E48 , ( -701", -212" )
