Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. Target region NOAA 13429 has decayed since the last message, and is now classified as a beta-gamma/D-type group. NOAA 13429 has not produced any flares in the period. NOAA 13435 is a newly numbered region that recently rotated on disk over the East limb. This region is classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group and was the most flare-productive region with being the source of three C-class flares, the largest of which was a C3.5 on 17-Sep-2023 at 15:55 UT. Further C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13435 on 17-Sep-2023 at 18:00 UT is:
N10E59 , ( -808", 104" )
