Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at a very low level since the last message. The largest event during the period was a B5.1 flare at 06:58 UT from a northeast limb region (N14E88). This unnumbered limb region also produced two ~B4 flares. Today the target will switch to this limb region. Yesterday's target had been designated as NOAA 14417 (S08W91) having a beta/D-type configuration and produced four B3-B4 flares, which was rotating over the west limb. Another region, NOAA 14416 (N19W15, beta/D-type), also produced three B4-B5 flares. Only C-class flares are expected from multiple regions in the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the limb target on April 13 at 07:00 UT is: N14E88 (-950", 240")
