Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at a very low level with the GOES soft X-ray flux below C1. The target region NOAA 14419 was the source of a B4.9 flare and the limb region NOAA 14416 (N22W91, alpha/H-type) produced 3 B-class flares in the last 24 hours. NOAA 14419 retains a beta-gamma/E-type configuration but decreases in the sunspot area and number of spots. B-class activity is expected with C-class flare probable in the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14419 on April 19 at 07:30 UT is: N13W03 (48", 300")
