Dear Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux continues at background levels. The weak plage region
in the southwest quadrant has remained quiescent since the last
message. It shall continue to be the target region for a further 24
hours, although no change in activity is expected.
The approximate position of the target region on 7-May-2020 at 13:30 UT is:
S23W10, ( 159", -320" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at very low levels. NOAA 12760 has now rotated
beyond the western limb. The new target region shall be the plage
region along the south central meridian that also appears bright in
EUV images. No change in activity expected over the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target region on 6-May-2020 at 13:30 UT is:
S23E04, ( -55", -318" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar minimum conditions continue with NOAA 12760 now on the western
limb. It has been quiescent since the last message but will remain the
target region for a further 24 hours. No change in activity expected
at this time.
The position of NOAA 12760 on 5-May-2020 at 08:00 UT is:
S7W90, ( 944", -116" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar minimum conditions have returned with the visible solar disk now
spotless again. The target region shall revert back to the decaying
plage of NOAA 12760 as it approaches the western limb. No increase in
activity expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12760 on 4-May-2020 at 13:30 UT is:
S07W79, ( 927", -103" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has returned to background levels since the last
message. NOAA 12762 has remained quiescent and is now beyond the
western limb, but its loops remain visible in EUV images. It shall
continue to be the target region for a further 24 hours, although no
change in activity is expected.
The position of NOAA 12762 on 3-May-2020 at 07:30 UT is:
N23W91, ( 875", 369" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at low levels. NOAA 12762 produced several
A-class flares since the last message, while NOAA 12760 was the source
of a long-duration A8.3 flare at 19:12 UT yesterday. NOAA 12762 is now
on the western limb shall continue to be the target region for an
additional 24 hours. Further low-level activity possible.
The position of NOAA 12762 on 2-May-2020 at 13:30 UT is:
N23W83, ( 869", 378" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased slightly with four numbered regions now
on the visible solar disk. NOAA 12760 has produced some A-level
activity since the last message, while NOAA 12762 was the source of a
B2.6 flare at 14:30 UT today. NOAA 12762 shall be the new target
region with chance for additional low-level events before west limb
passage.
The position of NOAA 12762 on 1-May-2020 at 13:30 UT is:
N23W69, ( 818", 393" )

Dear Collaborators,
There are now three numbered active regions on the visible solar disk,
with a possible fourth emerging in the northeast quadrant. NOAA 12760
was the source of several A-class flares since the last message, while
NOAA 12762 in the northwest quadrant produced a B1.3 flare at 12:09 UT
today. NOAA 12762 has a highly inclined magnetic neutral line but its
sunspots have almost decayed. NOAA 12760 shall therefore continue to
be the target region for a further 24 hours, with additional A-level
activity possible.
The position of NOAA 12760 on 30-Apr-2020 at 13:30 UT is:
S06W25, ( 401", -36" )

Dear Collaborators,
The newly emerged region in the southwest quadrant, NOAA 12761, was
the source of an A4.0 flare at 05:19 UT today, but has already decayed
significantly. Another ERF with a bipolar configuration has appeared
in the northwest quadrant since the last message. NOAA 12760 has
remained quiescent but shall be the target region for a further 24
hours, with no significant change in activity expected. Also include
NOAA 12761 in your field of view if possible.
The position of NOAA 12760 on at UT is:
S06W11, ( 181", -29" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar conditions remain unchanged since the last message. NOAA 12760
appears to be in decay and is now classified as an alpha region. A
cycle 24 region has also emerged in the southwest quadrant. It has a
beta sunspot configuration but remains unnumbered. NOAA 12760 shall
continue to be the target region, but also include the EFR in your
field of view if possible. No significant increase in activity
expected over the next 24 hours
The position of NOAA 12760 on 28-Apr-2020 at 07:30 UT is:
S07E06, ( -99", -43" )
