MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear Collaborators,

After the M6.9 flare yesterday, the target region NOAA 14513 produced an M2.2 flare at 06:29 UT today, plus two ~C1.5 flares. 14513 retains a beta-gamma-delta/E-type region and increases the sunspot area. Today we will continue the Major Flare campaign. Additional low M-class activity is expected with some chance of another major flare above M5 in the following days.

The position of NOAA 14513 on August 26 at 07:30 UT is: N04W08 (132", -49")
