Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. Target region NOAA 13469
remained stable since the last message, continuing to be classed
as a beta/D-type group. The plage region that was previously NOAA
13467 has regained this numbering after forming new spots. 13467
(an alpha/A-type group) becomes the new target. C-class activity
is possible in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13467 on 22-Oct-2023 at 20:00 UT is:
N14W37 , ( 565", 164" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. The target region at the North
West limb has rotated beyond Earth view. The plage region that used to
be NOAA 13467 produced the largest flare since the last message, a C2.8
on 21-Oct-2023 at 00:00 UT. Newly numbered NOAA 13469 (a beta/D-type
group) was the only spotted region showing any flux emergence, and this
becomes the new target. C-class activity is probable over the following
24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 13469 on 21-Oct-2023 at 18:30 UT is:
N27W47 , ( 628", 382" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. The target region at the North
West limb has continued to be the source of all C-class activity since
the last message (five flares in total, including the largest magnitude
in the period as a C2.3 flare on 20-Oct-2023 at 04:20 UT. This location
remains as the target for the following 24 hours. Additional low C-class
flares are expected in the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of this region on 20-Oct-2023 at 20:00 UT is:
N25W90 , ( 873", 405" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. The target region at the North
West limb has continued to be the source of C-class activity in the
form of three flares that included the largest flare in the period -
a C2.7 on 19-Oct-2023 at 13:52 UT. This limb location remains as the
target for the next 24-hour period because the three spotted regions
on disk have all shown signs of decay and were unremarkable in terms
of flaring. More low C-class flares are probable over the following
24-hour period.
The approximate position of this region on 19-Oct-2023 at 18:00 UT is:
N23W90 , ( 886", 374" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. Target region NOAA 13463
has decayed losing its spots, and remained flare quiet since the
last message. The largest flare in the period came from the North
West limb - a C1.6 on 18-Oct-2023 at 01:31 UT. This limb location
becomes the target for the following 24-hour period because the 3
spotted regions on disk have been stable in terms of magnetic flux
and unremarkable in terms of flaring. C-class activity is probable
in the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of this region on 18-Oct-2023 at 18:00 UT is:
N27W90 , ( 858", 435" )

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" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13464 remained
stable since the last message, continuing to be classified as a beta/
C-type sunspot group. NOAA 13464 produced one C-class flare in the
period, while a new region that is currently rotating into view over
the North East limb produced the largest magnitude flare - a C9.9 on
16-Oct-2023 at 15:59 UT. This new limb region becomes the new target.
Further C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a
small chance for a low M-class flare.
The approximate position of this region on 16-Oct-2023 at 18:00 UT is:
N24E87 , ( -878", 385" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13460 has again
remained stable since the last message, continuing to be classified
as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group. NOAA 13460 did not produce any
flares in the period while NOAA 13464 (a beta/C-type group) produced
a single flare that was the largest magnitude (a C3.9 on 15-Oct-2023
at 16:22 UT), and so becomes the new target. More C-class flares are
likely in the following 24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 13464 on 15-Oct-2023 at 20:00 UT is:
N04W02 , ( 35", -31" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13460 has
remained stable since the last message, continuing to be classed
as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group. This region produced the
largest magnitude flare in the period, a C9.8 on 14-Oct-2023 at
04:58 UT. Additional C-class activity is expected over the next
24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13460 on 14-Oct-2023 at 20:00 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13451 has now
fully rotated over the North West limb. This region produced 3 low
C-class flares before disappearing from Earth-view. The region on
the visible disk that is the most magnetically complex is now NOAA
13460, a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group. This region also produced
3 low C-class flares in the period and becomes the new target. More
C-class flares are expected in the following 24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 13460 on 13-Oct-2023 at 18:00 UT is:
S11W41 , ( 620", -258" )
