Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. The old region NOAA 12774 that
lies beyond the South West limb produced a second C-class flare
shortly after the last message was sent (a C3.5 on 16-Oct-2020
at 14:57 UT). The target region remains as NOAA 12776, which has
been stable and continues to be classed as a beta/C-type sunspot
group. Low B-class flares are probable over the following 24-hour
period.
The position of NOAA 12776 on 17-Oct-2020 at 14:30 UT is:
S14E32 , ( -497", -311" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. The target region NOAA 12776
has been confirmed as a beta/C-type sunspot group classification
since the last message. NOAA 12776 has continued to produce low
B-class activity, while the largest event since the last message
was a C1.5 flare on 16-Oct-2020 at 12:46 UT from the region that
was previously designated as NOAA 12774. The target shall remain
as NOAA 12776, because 12774 is now located significantly beyond
the South West limb. Further low B-class flares are probable in
the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12776 on 16-Oct-2020 at 14:30 UT is:
S12E46 , ( -679", -265" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. The target region has now
rotated significantly onto the visible disk and is designated as
NOAA 12776. This region is currently classed as an alpha/A-type
sunspot group, but appears to have developed a spot within its
trailing polarity flux (making it a beta/B-type). NOAA 12776 has
continued to produce low-level activity over the past 24 hours,
the largest event being a B1.4 flare on 15-Oct-2020 at 05:15 UT.
More low B-class flares are probable over the following 24-hour
period.
The position of NOAA 12776 on 15-Oct-2020 at 14:30 UT is:
S13E60 , ( -813", -263" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. The target region has
rotated onto the visible disk and displays small spots in its
leading polarity flux (with possible penumbra) and minor pores
in its interior. However, close proximity to the limb prevents
an accurate classification at this time. This region remains as
the target after producing several low B-class flares since the
last message (the largest being a B1.5 flare on 14-Oct-2020 at
11:37 UT). Further low B-class flares are possible in the next
24 hours.
The approximate position of this region on 14-Oct-2020 at 16:00 UT is:
S12E73 , ( -901", -227" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. The target region NOAA 12775
lost its spots since the last message and has decayed to plage.
A new coronal loop region is currently rotating over the South
East limb, but it is too early to determine if it has sunspots.
This region becomes the target after producing several A-class
flares in the past 24 hours and a B1.4 flare on 13-Oct-2020 at
11:05 UT. More low B-class flares are possible in the following
24-hour period.
The approximate position of this region on 13-Oct-2020 at 16:00 UT is:
S10E90 , ( -947", -166" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. The target region NOAA
12775 has decayed marginally in the past 24 hours, remaining as
a beta magnetic classification but decreasing to a B-type sunspot
group from losing all of its spot penumbrae. No significant X-ray
flares have occurred since the last message, although NOAA 12775
has produced 2 low A-class events. No change in flaring activity
is expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12775 on 12-Oct-2020 at 18:30 UT is:
S23W14 , ( 215", -465" )

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2775 was the source of numerous
minor A-class events since the last message. 2775 is
mostly unchanged maintaining an elongated B-type/beta
sunspot group. The northeastern limb region mentioned
in yesterday's message has completed east limb passage
and is currently a weak spotless plage. No significant
solar flare activity is expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2775 on October 11 at 16:00 UT is:
S24E02 (Solar X = -030", Solar Y = -484")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2775 continued to grow adding
sunspot area and spot count but its sunspot group
remained a magnetically simple B-type/beta classification.
2775 produced numerous minor A-class events since the
last message. A new region located beyond the
northeastern limb was the source of an A8.0 event at
10/10/12:26 UT. It is possible this region will become
the target tomorrow. No significant solar flare activity
expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2775 on October 10 at 09:00 UT is:
S24E17 (Solar X = -258", Solar Y = -481")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2774 has a magnetically simple
A-type/alpha sunspot group with a pair of small
leading polarity spots. The target will switch to
the other recently emerged NOAA 2775. 2775
has developed a slightly more complex B-type/beta
sunspot group in the past 24 hour period. No significant
solar flare activity expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2775 on October 09 at 07:45 UT is:
S24E33 (Solar X = -480", Solar Y = -470")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
NOAA 2773 is now too far beyond the west limb to
continue to be a target. 2773 was the source of
another limb occulted A3.8 event at 10/06/22:00 UT.
There are two emerging flux regions located in the
southeastern quadrant. The target will switch to the
EFR located at S25E06. The other EFR is located at
S24E43. Both regions are currently displaying tiny
B-type/beta sunspot groups. No significant solar flare
events expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of the target on October 08 at 16:00 UT is:
S25E06 (Solar X = -091", Solar Y = 310")
