Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target NOAA 13149 developed a
small delta-spot to be classified as a beta-delta/D-type sunspot
group. This region was the source of one low C-class flare since
the last message (a C1.4 on 21-Nov-2022 at 22:58 UT). The newly
numbered NOAA 13151 continues its emergence and is preliminarily
classed as a beta/B-type sunspot group. NOAA 13151 has been the
most flare-productive region in the period, being the source of
multiple C-class events including the largest magnitude flare (a
C7.0 on 22-Nov-2022 at 06:59 UT). The target switches again to
NOAA 13151 due to its heightened flaring activity. More C-class
activity is expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13151 on 22-Nov-2022 at 14:30 UT is:
S14E11 , ( -181", -268" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13150 again
remained stable as it rotates towards the North West limb. This
region has continued to be classified as a beta/D-type sunspot
group and has not produced any notable flaring activity since the
last message. NOAA 13149 showed signs of growth in the period and
produced several low C-class flares, including the largest flare
(a C2.9 on 21-Nov-2022 at 03:30 UT). The target now switches to
NOAA 13149. More C-class activity is probable in the following
24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 13149 on 21-Nov-2022 at 15:00 UT is:
N23E16 , ( -246", 349" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target NOAA 13150 has
remained stable since the last message, continuing to be
classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group. 13150 produced
multiple B-class flares, as well as the largest magnitude
flare of the period - a C3.3 on 20-Nov-2022 at 05:51 UT.
Additional B-class activity is expected over the next 24
hours, with a chance for further C-class activity.
The position of NOAA 13150 on 20-Nov-2022 at 22:00 UT is:
N22W67 , ( 829", 351" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate level. Target region NOAA 13140
has completely rotated over the North West limb. Newly numbered
NOAA 13150 is designated as a beta/D-type sunspot group and has
produced the two largest magnitude flares since the last message
- a C8.3 flare and an M1.6 flare on 19-Nov-2022 at 06:05 UT and
12:42 UT, respectively. Further C-class activity is expected in
the following 24-hour period, with a chance for another M-class
flare if NOAA 13150 continues to emerge new flux.
The position of NOAA 13150 on 19-Nov-2022 at 16:30 UT is:
N21W51 , ( 706", 325" )

Dear Collaborators,
NOAA 13140 has continued to produce C-level activity from behind the
northwest limb since the last message, including two occulted C5
flares. The looptops of NOAA 13140 remain visible in EUV images and so
it shall continue as the target region for a further 24 hours. Chance
for an additional isolated intermediate level event before west limb
passage.
The position of NOAA 13140 on 18-Nov-2022 at 08:30 UT is:
N23W91, ( 892", 379" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity from NOAA 13140 continues at C-level as the region
rotates over the northwest limb. The largest event was a C6.1 flare at
09:08 UT today. While its magnetic configuration is uncertain at this
time, NOAA 13140 continues to be flare productive and shall remain the
target region for a further 24 hours. Additional intermediate level
activity possible.
The position of NOAA 13140 on 17-Nov-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
N23W91, ( 892", 379" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at C-level since the last message as NOAA
13140 approaches the western limb. The region has been downgraded to a
beta-gamma configuration and may be showing signs of decay. NOAA 13140
shall remain the target region with further C-class flares likely.
Also chance for an isolated M-class flare before west limb passage.
The position of NOAA 13140 on 16-Nov-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
N25W83, ( 872", 404" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at intermediate levels. NOAA 13140 has
produced multiple C-class flares since the last message, as well as an
M1.0 flare at 02:42 UT today. The target region is now classified as
having a beta-gamma-delta configuration as it approaches the western
limb. Further C-level activity likely over the next 24 hours with
chance for an additional low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13140 on 15-Nov-2022 at 12:30 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has remained at the C-level since the last message.
However, most of this activity has emanated from NOAA 13140, which has
developed rapidly and currently appears to exhibit an island delta in
its leader spot. NOAA 13141 has continued to show signs of decay. The
default target region shall now switch to NOAA 13140, although keep
NOAA 13141 in your field of view if possible. Further C-level likely
with chance for a low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13140 on 14-Nov-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
N25W55, ( 721", 384" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at C-level since the last message. NOAA
13141 has remained active but has continued to decay and is now
classified as a beta-gamma region. As such, we are ending the Major
Flare Watch campaign at this time. NOAA 13141 shall continue as the
target region with further intermediate level activity likely.
The position of NOAA 13141 on 13-Nov-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
N15W34, ( 525", 209" )
