Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has been at a moderate level since the last 
message. The largest event for the past 24 hours was an 
M1.3 flare at 02:01 UT today produced by a newly emerged 
region NOAA 13964 (N07W27). 13964 also produced eight 
C-class flares and has been designated as a beta/D-type 
configuration. The target region NOAA 13961 was the source 
of an M1.1 flare (at 03:08 UT today) and two high C-class 
flares. It retains a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. Today 
we will continue to watch NOAA 13961. Additional low M-class 
flares are probable from NOAA 13961 and 13964 in the next 
24-hour period.

The position of NOAA 13961 on January 17 at 08:30 UT is:
S09E40 (-621", -90")
