Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at intermediate levels. Former target region NOAA 13176 was the source of two M-class flares as it crossed the central meridian. The current target region in the northeast quadrant is now designated as NOAA 13180 and is classified as a beta/D-type region. It has also produced several C-class flares since the last message, including a C7.9 flare at 02:27 UT today. NOAA 13180 shall continue as the target region for the next 24 hours with further C- and low M-level flares possible.
The position of NOAA 13180 on 31-Dec-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
N19E61, ( -808", 340" )
