Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a very low level. The target region NOAA 12776 remains classified as an alpha/H-type sunspot group and it produced a B2.3 flare on 24-Oct-2020 at 20:45 UT. Another new flux region is emerging in the South East quadrant and has developed several pores that appear to be consolidating into more stable spots. This region has already produced several A-class events as well as a B1.8 flare on 25-Oct-2020 at 11:18 UT. This new region is the new target. More B-class flares are possible over the following 24-hour period.

The approximate position of this region on 25-Oct-2020 at 14:30 UT is:

S20E04 , ( -64", -409" )
