Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has dropped to a low level. The target region NOAA 14549 remained at high productivity, producing the largest, a C3.6 at 14:59 UT yesterday. This region has retained a beta-gamma-delta/D-type sunspot group, showing signs of potential rotational shearing and additional flux emergence. Today, the target will continue on 14549. More C-class activity is expected, with an isolated low-M flare likely in the coming 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14549 on 7-Oct-2026 11:30 UT is:
N10W03 (49", 60")
