Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has remained at a very low level since the last message. Yesterday's target region NOAA 14564 (N04E39, beta/D-type) produced only a B3.8 flare at 15:35 UT yesterday. A new southeastern active region (S04E89; unnumbered yet) is rotating onto the visible disk. It produced the largest event of the period, a B5.9 flare at 19:47 UT yesterday, as well as several other B-class flares. Today, the target will switch to this southeastern limb region. Further B-class activity is expected, with a chance of low C-class flares in the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target region on 1-Nov-2026 at 08:30 UT is:
S04E89 (-964", -69")
