Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. Target NOAA 13068 has
decayed slightly since the last message as it rotates up to the
South West limb, now being classified as a beta/C-type sunspot
group. This region continued to produce B-class activity, with
the largest flare in the period included (a B9.4 on 6-Aug-2022
at 22:53 UT). NOAA 13068 will continue as the target region for
a final 24 hours while it rotates over the limb. B-class flares
are expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for a C-class
flare.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 7-Aug-2022 at 16:30 UT is:
S15W75 , ( 883", -269" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. Target region NOAA 13068
has continued to decay over the past 24 hours, and is now being
classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group. This region produced
B-class activity only. The new spot region to the south of NOAA
13072 has now been numbered as NOAA 13073 and is designated as
a beta/C-type sunspot group, but has remained flare quiet since
the last message. NOAA 13068 will continue as the target for a
further 24 hours. B-class flares are expected in the following
24-hour period, with a good chance for a C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 6-Aug-2022 at 13:00 UT is:
S15W59 , ( 786", -294" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13068 has
slightly decayed since the last message, but remains classified
as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. This region has continued
producing C-class flares, totalling three events and the largest
being a C4.9 on 5-Aug-2022 at 06:29 UT. A new region has begun
emerging slightly south of yesterday's newly numbered NOAA 13072
(itself located slightly south east of NOAA 13068), with the new
unnumbered region already producing a C5.5 flare on 5-Aug-2022
at 05:56 UT that was the largest event in the period. The target
remains on NOAA 13068 due to its more extensive flaring history
and the complexity of the new unnumbered region being currently
unknown. Additional C-class activity is expected in the next 24
hours.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 5-Aug-2022 at 13:00 UT is:
S15W46 , ( 660", -311" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13068 displayed
signs of both decay and growth since the last message, but continues
to be classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. This region
was the source of the largest magnitude flare of the period, a C6.9
on 3-Aug-2022 at 16:54 UT. More C-class flares are possible over the
following 24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 4-Aug-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
S15W31 , ( 470", -327" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. The target region NOAA 13068 grew
slightly in spot area and number of spots since the last message, but
remains classed as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. NOAA 13066 that
previously rotated over the South West limb produced the two largest
flares of the period (a C4.2 and a C1.7 on 2-Aug-2022 at 15:15 UT and
17:11 UT, respectively), while NOAA 13068 produced the third largest
flare (a C1.3 on 3-Aug-2022 at 02:39 UT). The target remains on NOAA
13068 for the next 24 hours, with further C-class activity probable.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 3-Aug-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
S15W19 , ( 296", -334" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level, with only B-class activity
since the last message. The target region has now rotated on disk
over the North East limb but does not have any spots. This region
has remained flare quiet since the last message but displays cool
prominence material suspended within its overlying magnetic field
structure. NOAA 13068 has undergone flux emergence since the last
message and is now classified as a beta-gamma/E-type group. NOAA
13068 becomes the new target as it has strengthened the opposite
polarity spot that is in close proximity to the main leading spot.
Continued B-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with
C-class flaring also probable.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 2-Aug-2022 at 13:00 UT is:
S15W05 , ( 82", -338" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. The target region NOAA 13068
initially decayed but then underwent some spot growth to become
classified as a beta/E-type sunspot group. This region continued
producing B-class activity since the last message. However, the
largest event of the period was a C9.3 flare on 31-Jul-2022 at
22:41 UT that was produced by a new region beyond the North East
limb. This limb location becomes the new target. Further C-class
activity is probable over the following 24-hour period, with a
chance for a low M-class flare because the C9.3 event was likely
a larger magnitude event diminished by footpoint occultation.
The approximate position of this region on 1-Aug-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
N15E90 , ( -913", 243" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at very low levels. NOAA 13068 in the southeast
quadrant has remained quiescent since the last message and has
continued to decay. It shall continue as the target region for a
further 24 hours although no significant change in activity is
expected at this time.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 31-Jul-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S15E23, ( -357", -328" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity from NOAA 13068 has continued at the low B-level since
the last message. The region retains its beta/D-type configuration but
now appears to be in decay. NOAA 13068 shall continue as the target
region for a further 24 hours with only isolated low-level events
likely.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 30-Jul-2022 at 11:30 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
The target region in the southeast quadrant has now been designated as
NOAA 13068 and was the source of several B-class flares since the last
message, as well as a C4.2 flare at 04:29 UT today. The region is
classified as having a beta/D-type configuration and continues to show
signs of flux emergence, particularly around the leader spot. NOAA
13068 shall continue as the target region with further B- and C-level
activity likely over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 29-Jul-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S16E51, ( -707", -315" )
