Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13425 was classified as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group at the start of the UT day, but appears to only display a beta configuration at the current time. NOAA 13425 has been flare-quiet since the last message while NOAA 13421 (a beta/E-type group) produced C-class activity as it rotates towards the North East limb, including the largest magnitude event in the period (a C8.5 on 9-Sep-2023 at 01:15 UT). The target will remain on NOAA 13425 because 13421 has decayed significantly at this point. More C-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13425 on 9-Sep-2023 at 17:00 UT is:

N23E34 , ( -489", 278" )
