MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
The current visible solar disk is spotless. Target region
NOAA 2770 has almost completed west limb passage.
2770 was the source of three limb occulted A-class
events since the last message. The largest was an A6.9
at 08/16/05:16 UT. The target will switch to the spotless
unnumbered region located in the southeastern quadrant.
There is a double ribbon flare and a B1.2 x-ray event
in progress. The flare is associated with an active/eruptive
filament located on the region's main magnetic inversion line.
Another B-class event is possible after several hours if
the filament reappears.
The position of NOAA 2770 on August 16 at 06:15 UT is:
S30E29 (Solar X = -399", Solar Y = -556")

Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2770 produced a few
A-class events and an isolated C2.0 event at
08/15/06:47 UT. The site of the flare was the
location of the tiny EFR that appeared yesterday.
The lifetime of the EFR's pores were only about
one day. A-class events probable with the chance
of a B-class event.
The position of NOAA 2770 on August 15 at 07:30 UT is:
N26W73 (Solar X = 816", Solar Y = 384")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
A tiny EFR located in the northern portion of target
region 2770 has appeared since the last message.
2770 was the source of a few A-class events in
the past 24 hours. The largest was an A9.4 at
08/13/23:20 UT. A-class events are possible with
the chance of a B-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2770 on August 14 at 08:30 UT is:
N26W60 (Solar X = 739", Solar Y = 364")

Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2770 continues in decay phase
and is now spotless. 2770 was the source of six
minor A-class events since the last message. Additional
minor events possible in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2770 on August 13 at 06:45 UT is:
N26W46 (Solar X = 614", Solar Y = 346")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2770 (A-type/alpha) continues
in decay phase but was the source of nine A-class
events and five B-class events since the last message.
The largest event was a B2.0 at 08/12/01:49 UT.
The events are associated with the small dark active
filament located on the region's main magnetic inversion
line. A region now rotating over the southeastern limb
at approximately S30 produced a B1.0 event at
08/12/03:51 UT. A-class events probable with B-class
events possible in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2770 on August 12 at 05:15 UT is:
N25W32 (Solar X = 457", Solar Y = 316")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2770 (A-type/alpha) continues
to decay but has produced several A-class events
and three B-class events since the last message.
The largest was a B2.7 at 08/11/16:59 UT. The
recent flare activity is likely triggered by a newly
formed dark active filament located along the region's
main magnetic inversion line. A-class events probable
with the chance of B-class events in the next 24 hour
period.
The position of NOAA 2770 on August 11 at 13:00 UT is:
N24W23 (Solar X = 339", Solar Y = 294")

Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2770 (B-type/beta) continues
to decay. 2770 was the source of weak A-class events
in the past 24 hour period. A-class events probable
with a slight chance of a B-class event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2770 on August 10 at 06:15 UT is:
N24W07 (Solar X = 106", Solar Y = 275")

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" )
