Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low-to-moderate level. The target regions NOAA 12993 and 12994 have rotated up to the North West limb and once again only NOAA 12994 produced flares since the last message, being a series of low C-class events. The largest magnitude flare in the period was a M1.2 on 29-Apr-2022 at 07:15 UT, once again originating from the now unspotted region that was previously designated as 12996. The target will switch to this unspotted region due to the further decay of NOAA 12993/12994 and the continued flaring of the unspotted region. Further C-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for a low M-class flare.

The approximate position of this region (previously designated as NOAA 12996) on 29-Apr-2022 at 13:00 UT is:

N25W46 , ( 622", 448" )
