Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at an intermediate level. The target region NOAA 13474 produced 4 C-class and 1 B-class flares, including the largest magnitude event in the period - a C7.9 at 13:00 UT on 29-Oct-2023. 13474 retains active and has been classified as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group, with a higher complexity of configuration and an apparent increase of sunspot size plus counts. Today the target shall remain with NOAA 13474. Further C-class flares are expected with a low-M flare possible in the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 13474 on 30-Oct-2023 at 08:30 UT is:
S17E07 (-113", -356")
