Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has increased significantly since the last message.
The largest event was an M9.3 flare at 12:51 UT today produced
by a southeast limb region (unnumbered yet). At this time we are
implementing the Major Flare Watch campaign on this limb region
that is rotating onto the visible solar disk. It should be mentioned
that NOAA 13712 and 13716 produced an M1.3 and an M2.4 flare
respectively in the period, both of which are rotating over the west
limb. Additional low M-class activities are expected with a chance
of an isolated >M5 flare in the next 24 hours.

The approximate position of the target on June 23 at 15:30 UT is:

S19E75 (-900", -300")
