Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at a very low level. The largest event since the last message was a C5.0 flare at 08/22/14:01 UT emergent from target region NOAA 13085. 13085 was also the source of five low C-class flares during the period. Some other regions (NOAA 13084, 13081, and a southeast limb region) also produced a ~C1 flare from each. Target region 13085 retains its beta/D-type configuration and still shows flux emerging especially in its trailing portion. Additional C-class activities are expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13085 on August 23 at 07:30 UT is:
N30W03 (43", 372")
