Dear Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux has dropped to the mid-B-level since the last message
with NOAA 13122 now fully behind the northwest limb. NOAA 13126 has
remained quiescent and continues to decay. It shall continue as the
target region for a further 24 hours although no significant chance in
activity is expected at this time.
The position of NOAA 13126 on 23-Oct-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S11W32, ( 503", -256" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased to the mid-C-level since the last message
due to another resurgence from NOAA 13122 which is now beyond the
northwest limb. NOAA 13125, an alpha region, also produced a C4.1
flare at 02:44 UT today. NOAA 13126 has remained quiescent and appears
to be in decay. It shall remain the target region for a further 24
hours with isolated low-level events possible.
The position of NOAA 13126 on 22-Oct-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S11W18, ( 293", -267" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continued at the mid-C-level since the last message as
NOAA 13122 rotated over the northwest limb but has since returned to
background levels. NOAA 13126 has remained quiescent as it crossed the
central meridian but shall continue as the target region. Its size and
complexity remain unchanged, but it may produce isolated low-level
events over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13126 on 21-Oct-2022 at 15:30 UT is:
S11W07, ( 115", -272" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased to the mid-C-level since the last message
due to a resurgence of activity from NOAA 13122 as it rotates over the
northwest limb. There has also been C-class flaring due to the
emergence of a new active region near disk center, designated as NOAA
13126. As NOAA 13124 has remained quiescent as it approaches the
southwest limb, NOAA 13126 shall be the new target region. It is
currently classified as a beta region and may produce further C-level
activity as it continues to develop.
The position of NOAA 13126 on 20-Oct-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S11E08, ( -132", -273" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux has remained around the C1 level since the last
message. NOAA 13124 has continued to produce high-B/low-C flares as it
approaches the western limb. Its magnetic configuration remains
unchanged and it shall continue as the target region for a further 24
hours. Additonal low C-class flares likely before west limb passage.
The position of NOAA 13124 on 19-Oct-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S34W74, ( 767", -557" )

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:
N23W90 , ( 885", 373" )
