Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13068 displayed
signs of both decay and growth since the last message, but continues
to be classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. This region
was the source of the largest magnitude flare of the period, a C6.9
on 3-Aug-2022 at 16:54 UT. More C-class flares are possible over the
following 24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 4-Aug-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
S15W31 , ( 470", -327" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. The target region NOAA 13068 grew
slightly in spot area and number of spots since the last message, but
remains classed as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. NOAA 13066 that
previously rotated over the South West limb produced the two largest
flares of the period (a C4.2 and a C1.7 on 2-Aug-2022 at 15:15 UT and
17:11 UT, respectively), while NOAA 13068 produced the third largest
flare (a C1.3 on 3-Aug-2022 at 02:39 UT). The target remains on NOAA
13068 for the next 24 hours, with further C-class activity probable.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 3-Aug-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
S15W19 , ( 296", -334" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level, with only B-class activity
since the last message. The target region has now rotated on disk
over the North East limb but does not have any spots. This region
has remained flare quiet since the last message but displays cool
prominence material suspended within its overlying magnetic field
structure. NOAA 13068 has undergone flux emergence since the last
message and is now classified as a beta-gamma/E-type group. NOAA
13068 becomes the new target as it has strengthened the opposite
polarity spot that is in close proximity to the main leading spot.
Continued B-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with
C-class flaring also probable.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 2-Aug-2022 at 13:00 UT is:
S15W05 , ( 82", -338" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. The target region NOAA 13068
initially decayed but then underwent some spot growth to become
classified as a beta/E-type sunspot group. This region continued
producing B-class activity since the last message. However, the
largest event of the period was a C9.3 flare on 31-Jul-2022 at
22:41 UT that was produced by a new region beyond the North East
limb. This limb location becomes the new target. Further C-class
activity is probable over the following 24-hour period, with a
chance for a low M-class flare because the C9.3 event was likely
a larger magnitude event diminished by footpoint occultation.
The approximate position of this region on 1-Aug-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
N15E90 , ( -913", 243" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at very low levels. NOAA 13068 in the southeast
quadrant has remained quiescent since the last message and has
continued to decay. It shall continue as the target region for a
further 24 hours although no significant change in activity is
expected at this time.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 31-Jul-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S15E23, ( -357", -328" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity from NOAA 13068 has continued at the low B-level since
the last message. The region retains its beta/D-type configuration but
now appears to be in decay. NOAA 13068 shall continue as the target
region for a further 24 hours with only isolated low-level events
likely.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 30-Jul-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S15E38, ( -563", -315" )

Dear Collaborators,
The target region in the southeast quadrant has now been designated as
NOAA 13068 and was the source of several B-class flares since the last
message, as well as a C4.2 flare at 04:29 UT today. The region is
classified as having a beta/D-type configuration and continues to show
signs of flux emergence, particularly around the leader spot. NOAA
13068 shall continue as the target region with further B- and C-level
activity likely over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 29-Jul-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S16E51, ( -707", -315" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at the B-level over the past 24 hours,
with most activity coming from the unnumbered target region near the
southeast limb. The region appears to have a beta configuration and
may be showing signs of development around its leader spot. It shall
continue as the target region with only low-level events likely at
this time.
The approximate position of the target region on 28-Jul-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S15E69, ( -853", -275" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux has remained at the low B-level since the last
message, with the exception of a C8.5 flare that occurred behind the
northwest limb (NOAA 13060) and a C3.5 flare from an approaching
region on the southeast limb. The region in the northeast quadrant has
now been designated as NOAA 13067 but has remained quiescent. The
source region for the C3.5 flare on the southeast limb shall be the
new target region with chance for additional low-to-intermediate level
activity.
The approximate position of the target region on 27-Jul-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S17E88, ( -902", -278" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at very low levels, with only B-class flares
emanating from the new target region near the northeast limb. The
region remains unnumbered but appears to have a small, compact biploar
configuration. It shall continue at the target region with only low
level activity likely over the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target region on 26-Jul-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
N18E79, ( -882", 275" )
