Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at a moderate level. The target region NOAA 13852 produced two M-class flares, an M3.8 at 03:12 UT (the largest event during the period) and M2.8 at 04:57 UT today, and more than ten C-class flares. The nearby region 13854 also produced two low M-class flares (M3.7 and M2.1). Both regions have a beta-gamma/E-type configuration. If possible, please also include 13854 (S05W40) in your field of view. Further low M-class flares are expected in the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 13852 on October 16 at 11:30 UT is:
S10W44 (660", -235")
