Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased since the last message due the appearance of the new region in the southeast quadrant. The region has been designated as NOAA 12795 and is classified as a beta/C-type region. It has produced a spate of B-class flares over the last 24 hours, the largest being a B7.3 flare at 02:18 UT today. Continued B-level activity expected with chance of an isolated C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12795 on 24-Dec-2020 at 12:30 UT is:
S17E60, ( -809", -268" )
