Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at moderate levels. The largest event since the last message was an M4.0 flare at 01/13/10:05 UT produced by a southwest limb region (should be NOAA 13181, almost beyond the limb). Yesterday's target NOAA 13186 has been flare quiet and was designated as a beta-gamma/E-type configuration. Today we will end the Major Flare Watch campaign and the target will switch to a newly numbered limb region NOAA 13191 (N12E66, beta/C-type), which has produced an M1.3 flare at 01/14/01:28 UT and also three C-class flares. If possible, please also include NOAA 13192 (N19E70, beta/D-type) in your field of view, which has produced two high-level C-class flares. Additional low M-class flares are probable in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13191 on January 14 at 08:30 UT

N12E66 (-872", 232")
