Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at an extremely low level with the soft X-ray flux below C1. The target region NOAA 13085 was the source of five B-class flares in the past 24 hours, the largest one being a B5.8 at 08/23/15:32 UT. 13085 remains its beta/D-type configuration but increasing in the sunspot area and number of spots. It shows some mixed polarities in its intermediate portion. Only low level activities are expected in the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13085 on August 24 at 07:30 UT is:
N25W12 (179", 296")
