Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has further reduced to a moderate-to-low level since the last message. The target region, NOAA 14294 produced an M1.1 flare at 05:27 UT today(12/12) from the Southwestern limb and several low-C class flares in the past 24 hours. An M2.0 flare was reported at 04:50 UT today from NOAA 14296 at the area South of its leading sunspots, in close proximity to the east end of NOAA 14294.
Although NOAA 14294 and its adjacent NOAA 14296 will go behind the limb soon, they are currently the most flare productive regions. Today we will end the Major Flare Watch campaign on NOAA 14294, and observe NOAA 14296 as a default target while it is passing the Southwestern limb. Low-to-mid C class flares are expected.
The position of the target in NOAA 14296 on 12-December-2025 at 17:00 UT is: S16W78 (917", -274").
