Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at very low levels since the last message
with the target region in the northeast quadrant having produced a few
mid A-class events. The region appears to comprise bipolar plage but
with no associated sunspots. It shall continue to be the target region
with further A-level activity possible over the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target region on 19-May-2020 at 13:30 UT is:
N32E52, ( -637", 521" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at very low levels since the last
message. A new region close to the northeast limb was the source of
several low A-level events since the last message. Its magnetic
configuration is uncertain at this time, but it shall be the new
target region. Further A-level activity possible.
The approximate position of the target region on 18-May-2020 at 07:30 UT is:
N32E70, ( -757", 513" )

Dear Collaborators,
The visible solar disk remains spotless. The largest X-ray event
since the last message was an A8.7 at 05:59 UT on May 17,
produced by a region near the southeast limb (S23E70). The
target region (N32E75) produced three low A-class X-ray events.
It is rotating onto the visible disk and continues to show EUV jets.
More A-class activities are expected in the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target on May 18 at 01:30 UT is:
N32E75 (-800", 510")

Dear Collaborators,
The target limb region has produced three ~A3 flares
since the last message. This region continues to show
bright loop structures as well as EUV jets, and will be
today's target region. Please note that there is another
limb region (S23E88) that produced two ~A3 X-ray events.
Further A-class events are expected in the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target on May 17 at 01:30 UT is:
N31E87 (-830", 500")

Dear Collaborators,
The target limb region has produced three A-class flares,
the largest one being an A9.3 at 03:01 UT on May 15. It
continues to show small EUV jets. At present, this region
is still beyond the limb and only overlying loops are visible.
Additional A-class events are expected with a chance of
a low B-class event in the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target on May 15 at 19:30 UT is:
N32E89 (-850", 510")

Dear Collaborators,
The GOES Soft X-ray flux has been at a background level.
The visible solar disk remains spotless. Yesterday's target
has rotated over the west limb. Today the target will switch
to a region at the northeast limb, where shows some jets or
prominences. This region is rotating onto the visible disk. No
significant activities are expected in the next 24-hour period.
The approximate position of the target on May 15 at 01:30 UT is:
N33E90 (-850", 520")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues to be at a background level and
the visible solar disk is devoid of spots. There appear
some loop structures as well as a minor eruption at the
southwest limb. This limb region will be today's target.
No change in activity expected in the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target on May 14 at 01:30 UT is:
S27W90 (900", -420")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at a background level. The visible
solar disk remains spotless and almost featureless. There
will be no default target today. No change in activity expected
in the next 24 hours.

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity has been extremely low. The visible
solar disk is almost featureless. There will be no default target
again today. No change in activity is expected in the following
24-hour period.

Dear Collaborators,
Solar minimum conditions have returned to the visible solar disk. The
plage region in the southwest quadrant has now decayed completely
leaving no viable target region. There shall be no default target
region today with no activity expected over the next 24 hours.
