Dear Collaborators,
The target region NOAA 13126 was the source of a C2.5 flare
at 10/24/13:30 UT (the largest one of the period) and also several
high B-class flares. 13126 has been classified as a beta/D-type
region with increasing the sunspot area and number of spots.
This region seems to continue emerging new magnetic fluxes though
with a much lower rate. A newly emerged region numbered as
NOAA 13131 (N23E68, alpha/H-type) also produced a few B-class
flares. B-class activities are expected with a good chance of C-class
flares in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13126 on October 25 at 03:30 UT is:
S10W53 (760", -217")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased slightly since the last message.
The target region NOAA 13126 has been emerging new magnetic
flux in its trailing portion and produced the largest event of the
period, a C4.2 at 10/24/07:50 UT, although it retained a beta/C-type
classification. Please note that a new region (numbered as
NOAA 13130 with a beta/C-type configuration) emerged yesterday
and was the source of a few B- and low C-class flares. Additional
C-class activities are expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13126 on October 24 at 07:30 UT is:
S10W42 (637", -230")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux has dropped to the mid-B-level since the last message
with NOAA 13122 now fully behind the northwest limb. NOAA 13126 has
remained quiescent and continues to decay. It shall continue as the
target region for a further 24 hours although no significant chance in
activity is expected at this time.
The position of NOAA 13126 on 23-Oct-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S11W32, ( 503", -256" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased to the mid-C-level since the last message
due to another resurgence from NOAA 13122 which is now beyond the
northwest limb. NOAA 13125, an alpha region, also produced a C4.1
flare at 02:44 UT today. NOAA 13126 has remained quiescent and appears
to be in decay. It shall remain the target region for a further 24
hours with isolated low-level events possible.
The position of NOAA 13126 on 22-Oct-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S11W18, ( 293", -267" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continued at the mid-C-level since the last message as
NOAA 13122 rotated over the northwest limb but has since returned to
background levels. NOAA 13126 has remained quiescent as it crossed the
central meridian but shall continue as the target region. Its size and
complexity remain unchanged, but it may produce isolated low-level
events over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13126 on 21-Oct-2022 at 15:30 UT is:
S11W07, ( 115", -272" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased to the mid-C-level since the last message
due to a resurgence of activity from NOAA 13122 as it rotates over the
northwest limb. There has also been C-class flaring due to the
emergence of a new active region near disk center, designated as NOAA
13126. As NOAA 13124 has remained quiescent as it approaches the
southwest limb, NOAA 13126 shall be the new target region. It is
currently classified as a beta region and may produce further C-level
activity as it continues to develop.
The position of NOAA 13126 on 20-Oct-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S11E08, ( -132", -273" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux has remained around the C1 level since the last
message. NOAA 13124 has continued to produce high-B/low-C flares as it
approaches the western limb. Its magnetic configuration remains
unchanged and it shall continue as the target region for a further 24
hours. Additonal low C-class flares likely before west limb passage.
The position of NOAA 13124 on 19-Oct-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S34W74, ( 767", -557" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at the low C-level. The target region NOAA
13124 produced a C3.3 flare at 16:48 UT yesterday. The region remains
unchanged in size and complexity as it approaches the western limb.
Further low-level events likely with chance for an additional isolated
mid C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13124 on 18-Oct-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S36W62, ( 688", -599" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains low. The target region in the southwest
quadrant has now been designated as NOAA 13124, a beta/D-type region.
The region was the source of a C1.6 flare at 02:16 UT today. There are
signs of low-level flux emergence around the negative leader spot but
otherwise it remains stable. Chance for additional low C-level
activity over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13124 on 17-Oct-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S36W48, ( 579", -615" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. Target region NOAA 13112
has now completely rotated its coronal structure out of view over
the North West limb. NOAA 13119 (a beta/C-type sunspot group) was
the only numbered region to produce a flare since the last message
- a B7.9 flare on 16-Oct-2022 at 07:58 UT. A new spot region is in
the process of emerging in the South West quadrant and previously
produced a B6.9 flare on 15-Oct-2022 at 11:32 UT. This new region
has a beta magnetic configuration and either a B- or C-type Zurich
class. B-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a
chance for some C-class flares if this new spot region continues
to emerge new flux.
The approximate position of this region on 16-Oct-2022 at 16:00 UT is:
S35W36 , ( 465", -615" )
