Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at the low C-level. The target region NOAA
13124 produced a C3.3 flare at 16:48 UT yesterday. The region remains
unchanged in size and complexity as it approaches the western limb.
Further low-level events likely with chance for an additional isolated
mid C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13124 on 18-Oct-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S36W62, ( 688", -599" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains low. The target region in the southwest
quadrant has now been designated as NOAA 13124, a beta/D-type region.
The region was the source of a C1.6 flare at 02:16 UT today. There are
signs of low-level flux emergence around the negative leader spot but
otherwise it remains stable. Chance for additional low C-level
activity over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13124 on 17-Oct-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S36W48, ( 579", -615" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. Target region NOAA 13112
has now completely rotated its coronal structure out of view over
the North West limb. NOAA 13119 (a beta/C-type sunspot group) was
the only numbered region to produce a flare since the last message
- a B7.9 flare on 16-Oct-2022 at 07:58 UT. A new spot region is in
the process of emerging in the South West quadrant and previously
produced a B6.9 flare on 15-Oct-2022 at 11:32 UT. This new region
has a beta magnetic configuration and either a B- or C-type Zurich
class. B-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a
chance for some C-class flares if this new spot region continues
to emerge new flux.
The approximate position of this region on 16-Oct-2022 at 16:00 UT is:
S35W36 , ( 465", -615" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13112 has
now rotated its spots over the North West limb and was finally
classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group, although this was
heavily influenced by foreshortening effects. This region was
once again the most flare-productive region, being the source
of C-class flares including the largest magnitude event in the
period, a long-duration C6.1 flare on 15-Oct-2022 at 14:07 UT.
C-class flares are probable in the following 24-hour period,
with NOAA 13112 remaining the target region for a final 24
hours until its high-lying coronal loops rotate out of view.
The limb-departing position of NOAA 13112 on 15-Oct-2022 at 18:00 UT is:
N23W90 , ( 885", 374" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. Target region
NOAA 13112 has now rotated up to the North West limb and was
classified as a beta/E-type sunspot group at the start of the
UT day, although this is influenced by foreshortening effects.
This region was once again the source of C-class activity and
the largest magnitude event in the period - an M1.3 flare on
14-Oct-2022 at 09:20 UT. Further C-class flares are expected
over the next 24 hours as NOAA 13112 rotates beyond the North
West limb, with a chance for a final low M-class flare from
this region.
The position of NOAA 13112 on 14-Oct-2022 at 18:00 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low-to-moderate level. Target region
NOAA 13112 continued to decay since the last message and is
now classified as a beta/E-type sunspot group, although this
is likely influenced by foreshortening effects as NOAA 13112
approaches the limb. This region was once again the source of
several C-class flares and the largest magnitude event in the
period with an M1.5 flare on 12-Oct-2022 at 23:54 UT. More
C-class flares are expected in the following 24-hour period,
with a chance for another low M-class flare before NOAA 13112
rotates over the North West limb.
The position of NOAA 13112 on 13-Oct-2022 at 18:30 UT is:
N25W75 , ( 842", 381" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13112
decayed over the past 24 hours and reconfigured some of its
intermediate spots to now be classed as a beta-gamma/F-type
sunspot group. This region has again produced C-class flares
including the largest magnitude event in the period with a
C8.8 on 12-Oct-2022 at 14:14 UT. Further C-class activity is
expected over the next 24 hours, with a chance for another
low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13112 on 12-Oct-2022 at 15:00 UT is:
N22W62 , ( 789", 315" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate level. Target region NOAA 13112
decayed slightly overall, losing the delta in its leading spots
to now be classified as a beta/E-type sunspot group. This region
continued to be the most flare-productive region on disk, being
the source of several C-class flares and the largest magnitude
flares in the period with an M3.9 and M1.5 (on 11-Oct-2022 at
08:36 UT and 10:47 UT, respectively). Additional C-class flares
are expected in the following 24-hour period, with a good chance
of further low M-class flaring.
The position of NOAA 13112 on 11-Oct-2022 at 18:30 UT is:
N22W51 , ( 694", 299" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. Target region
NOAA 13112 decayed further in its trailing and intermediate
spots, now being classified as a beta-delta/F-type sunspot
group. This region continued to be the most flare-productive
region on disk, generating multiple C-class flares and the
largest magnitude flares in the period in an M1.0 and M2.4
(on 10-Oct-2022 at 00:35 UT and 16:35 UT, respectively).
More C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours,
with a good chance of additional low M-class flares.
The position of NOAA 13112 on 10-Oct-2022 at 18:30 UT is:
N22W38 , ( 551", 283" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13116 has
decayed slightly since the last message and again produced
a couple of C-class flares in the period. NOAA 13112 initially
grew slightly before decaying in the period, and is designated
as a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group. This region has
increased in flaring frequency and was the most flare-productive
spot region since the last message. The target now returns to
NOAA 13112. Additional C-class activity is expected over the
following 24-hour period, with a small chance for a low M-class
flare.
The position of NOAA 13112 on 9-Oct-2022 at 19:30 UT is:
N22W27 , ( 405", 272" )
