Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate level. Target region NOAA 13213 has rotated up to the North West limb since the last message, remaining classified as a beta-gamma/F-type sunspot group (noting that this is compromised by foreshortening effects due to proximity to the limb). This region produced several C-class flares and the largest flare in the period - an M2.7 on 14-Feb-2023 at 11:59 UT. The current Major Flare Watch target will remain on NOAA 13213 for at least a further 24 hours as it rotates over the North West limb. Additional C-class flares are expected over the next 24 hours, with a good chance for M-class activity.
The position of NOAA 13213 on 14-Feb-2023 at 15:30 UT is:
N28W78 , ( 856", 459" )
