Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at the C-level over the past 24 hours
with events from NOAA 13105, 13107, 13109 and a new region rotating
onto the northeast limb that produced a C7.2 flare at 11:29 UT today.
NOAA 13015 has doubled in size since the last message while NOAA 13107
is currently undergoing new flux emergence in its trailing portion.
Both regions currently retain their beta configurations. NOAA 13105
shall remain the target region but also include NOAA 13107 in your
field of view if possible. Further C-level activity likely.
The position of NOAA 13105 on 23-Sep-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S17E26, ( -402", -379" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at moderate levels since the last
message, although NOAA 13102 has remained quiescent and has shown
signs of decay. Both NOAA 13105 and 13107 have produced several
C-class flares, including a C7.8 flare from NOAA 13105 at 11:23 UT
today. NOAA 13105 remains the larger and more complex of the two
region and shall be the new default target, but also include NOAA
13107 in your field of view if possible. Further C-level activity
likely with chance for an isolated low M-flare.
The position of NOAA 13105 on 22-Sep-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S16E38, ( -567", -351" )

Dear Collaborators,
NOAA 13102 continued to produce C-level activity since the last
message, including a C7.7 flare at 14:51 UT yesterday, but has since
shown signs of decay. A new unnumbered region on the southeast limb,
just below NOAA 13105, was the source of an M1.0 at 06:51 UT today.
NOAA 13102 shall continue as the target region with further C-level
activity possible over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13102 on 21-Sep-2022 at 07:30 UT is:
S26W30, ( 430", -508" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at intermediate levels. NOAA 13102 retains
its beta/E-type configuration and was the source of an M1.0 flare at
11:13 UT today. Both it and the newly re-numbered region on the
southeast limb (NOAA 13105) have continued to produce low C-level
events. NOAA 13102 shall remain the target region with further C-level
activity expected. Chance for an additional low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13102 on 20-Sep-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S26W20, ( 294", -516" )

Dear Collaborators,
NOAA 13102 remains unchanged in terms of size and complexity since the
last message, and has continued to produce C-level activity as it
crosses the central meridian, including a C7.6 flare at 02:25 UT
today. There has also been some low C-level activity from the
southeastern limb signalling the return of NOAA 13089. NOAA 13012
shall continue as the target region with further intermediate level
activity expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13102 on 19-Sep-2022 11:30 UT is:
S25W09, ( 135", -508" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has decreased to a moderate level. Target NOAA
13098 has now fully rotated over the North West limb, but not
before producing a final M2.6 flare on 17-Sep-2022 at 20:32 UT.
NOAA 13102 is the most magnetically complex region on the disk,
being classified as a beta/E-type sunspot group. This region
has produced several C-class flares, including the largest of
the period with a C3.7 on 18-Sep-2022 at 16:08 UT. The MM#003
Major Flare Watch now comes to an end and the target switches
to NOAA 13102. Further C-class flares are expected in the
following 24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 13102 on 18-Sep-2022 at 18:30 UT is:
S27E01 , ( -17", -538" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is high. Target region NOAA 13098
has rotated up to the North West limb and continued to produce
many C-class flares and the largest flare of the period - an
M1.9 on 17-Sep-2022 at 13:21 UT. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch
will remain in effect on NOAA 13098 for a further 24 hours as
it rotates fully out of view over the North West limb. More
low M-class flares are probable over the next 24 hours, with
a chance for another flare above the M5 level.
The position of NOAA 13098 on 17-Sep-2022 at 17:30 UT is:
N18W90 , ( 908", 293" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a high level. Target NOAA 13098 maintained
number of spots and spot area since the last message, remaining
classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. This region
continued producing several C-class flares and was the source
of two high M-class events, an M7.9 and M6.2 on 16-Sep-2022 at
09:44 UT and 15:49 UT, respectively. At this point we initiate
a MMOP#003 Major Flare Watch on NOAA 13098. Low M-class flares
are probable in the following 24 hour period, with a chance of
further flaring above the M5 level.
The position of NOAA 13098 on 16-Sep-2022 at 18:00 UT is:
N19W86 , ( 900", 300" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. Target NOAA 13098
has again been stable in number of sunspots and spot area over the
past 24 hours, remaining classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot
group. This region continued producing several C-class flares, but
the largest in the period came from NOAA 13101 as it departed over
the North West limb - a C6.4 on 15-Sep-2022 at 05:54 UT. Further
C-class flares are expected over the next 24 hours, with a chance
for a low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13098 on 15-Sep-2022 at 16:30 UT is:
N18W74 , ( 873", 261" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a moderate level. Target NOAA 13098 has
been stable in terms of number of sunspots and spot area since the
last message, continuing to be classified as a beta-gamma/E-type
sunspot group. This region continued to be the most flare-active
region, once again producing multiple C-class flares as well as
the largest flare in the period - an M1.1 event on 14-Sep-2022 at
09:41 UT. Additional C-class flares are expected in the following
24-hour period, with a high chance for additional M-class flaring.
The position of NOAA 13098 on 14-Sep-2022 at 16:30 UT is:
N18W60 , ( 787", 236" )
