Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. The target region NOAA 12770
has been confirmed as having decayed to an alpha/H-type sunspot
group. Although lower than the previous day, NOAA 12770 was the
source of the largest flare event since the last message (a B1.2
on 9-Aug-2020 at 15:58 UT). More low B-class flaring is possible
in the following 24 hours as this region decays further.
The position of NOAA 12770 on 9-Aug-2020 at 13:00 UT is:
N22E01 , ( -15", 256" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. The target region NOAA 12770
continues to be classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group but it
now appears to be losing its trailing polarity spots. NOAA 12770
was the source of a C1.5 flare on 8-Aug-2020 at 03:42 UT (the
first C-class flare in over 2 months). More B-class activity is
probable over the next 24-hour period, with a small chance for
another low C-class event.
The position of NOAA 12770 on 8-Aug-2020 at 13:00 UT is:
N23E15 , ( -226", 276" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a very low level. NOAA 12770 has lost
some spot area in the past 24 hours but continues to be classed
as a beta/C-type sunspot group. This region continued to produce
A-class activity since the last message, with low B-class flares
still possible over the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12770 on 7-Aug-2020 at 13:00 UT is:
N23E29 , ( -423", 286" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. NOAA 12770 has once again
remained stable in terms of number of spots and spot area, and is
still classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. This region was
the source of more low B-class activity in the past 24 hours (the
largest being a B2.2 on 6-Aug-2020 at 00:07 UT). Further B-class
flares are possible in the next 24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 12770 on 6-Aug-2020 at 13:00 UT is:
N22E42 , ( -588", 283" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. NOAA 12770 has been stable
in terms of number of spots and spot area, and remains classified
as a beta/C-type sunspot group. This region has continued to be
the source of A-class activity since the last message, but there
remains a chance for low B-class flares in the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12770 on 5-Aug-2020 at 13:00 UT is:
N23E53 , ( -697", 312" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. The target region has rotated
further onto the visible disk and has now been designated as NOAA 12770.
This region currently shows a beta/C-type sunspot group classification,
but identification of possible penumbra on its trailing-polarity spots
is compromised by foreshortening effects close to the limb. NOAA 12770
has continued producing A-class activity in the past 24 hours, but more
low B-class flares are possible over the next 24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 12770 on 4-Aug-2020 at 13:00 UT is:
N21E65 , ( -801", 298" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. NOAA region 12769 decayed slightly
since the last message and is designated as an alpha/H-type sunspot group
due to the small spots visible in its trailing polarity flux. The target
becomes an unnumbered region that is currently in the process of rotating
over the North East limb. This region displays a clear leading-polarity
spot and has already produced B-class activity, the largest being a B2.2
flare on 3-Aug-2020 at 03:32 UT. Further B-class activity is expected in
the following 24 hours.
The approximate position of this region on 3-Aug-2020 at 13:00 UT is:
N24E80 , ( -851", 367" )

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
The target region has recently been numbered NOAA
2769. 2769 is mostly unchanged maintaining its
tiny B-type/beta sunspot group. 2769 was again the
source of several A-class events since the last
message. The largest was an A8.9 at 08/02/04:31 UT.
A-class events likely with a slight chance of an
isolated B-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2769 on August 02 at 15:00 UT is:
N27E59 (Solar X = -724", Solar Y = 383")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region 2768 has significantly decayed since the
last message. The target will switch to the region that
was rotating over the northeastern limb yesterday.
The region was a spotless plage during its east limb
passage but emerging flux has now appeared within
the region. The region was the source of numerous
A-class events and a B2.1 event at 08/01/10:45 UT.
A-class events expected with the chance of another
B-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of the target region on August 01 at 17:00 UT is:
N27E73 (Solar X = -807", Solar Y = 403")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2768 is mostly unchanged.
2768 produced an A6.7 event at 07/31/06:09 UT.
NOAA 2767, S20W49, was also the source of
A-class events since the last message. There
is a region located just beyond the northeastern
limb at approximately N27. Minor events probable
in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2768 on July 31 at 06:15 UT is:
N26E49 (Solar X = -643", Solar Y = 358")
