Dear Collaborators,
The target region NOAA 12929 has been classified as a beta-gamma/ D-type configuration. It continues showing mixed polarities in its northern portion. The neighboring region NOAA 12930 (N21W48) produced two C-class flares (C2.8 and C2.7 around 13:50 UT and 15:00 UT respectively) in the past 24 hours. 12930 remains its beta/D-type configuration while increasing in its sunspot area and number of spots. If possible, please also include 12930 in your field of view. Additional C-class events are likely in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12929 on January 18 at 04:30 UT is:
N07W47 (709", 174")
