Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low level since the last message. A small number of C-class flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being a C5.1 from NOAA 13397 on the northwest limb at 12:14 UT yesterday. Target region NOAA 13405 also produced a C3.1 flare at 02:40 UT today. NOAA 13405 continues to retain its beta type configuration and the sunspot area has slightly diminished since the last message. NOAA 13405 will remain the target region for a further 24 hours with a slight chance of C-class activity.
The position of NOAA 13405 on 18-Aug-2023 at 11:30 UT is:
N11E31, (-480",85")
