Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at a very low level. The largest event 
since the last message was a C4.6 flare at 15:34 UT yesterday 
produced by NOAA 14012. 14012 also produced four ~C2.0 
flares during the period. It has been designated as a beta-gamma/
E-type configuration with increasing the sunspot area and number 
of spots. Today the target will switch to this region. Please note 
that a newly emerged region, NOAA 14016 (S25E43, beta/B-type), 
also produced four ~C1.5 flares. Yesterday's target NOAA 14007 
has lost its delta spot and continues to be flare quiet. C-class flares 
are expected from various regions in the next 24-hour period.

The position of NOAA 14012 on March 5 at 08:30 UT is:

S13E28 (-444", -111")
