Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a high level. Target region NOAA 13110 has decayed slightly since the last message and has been designated as having lost its delta configuration to now be a beta/D-type group classification. However this may be due to foreshortening effects hampering accurate classification as it rotates towards the North West limb. This region continued to produce M-class activity as well as the largest flare in the period, an X1.0 on 2-Oct-2022 at 19:53 UT. NOAA region 13112 is classified as the most magnetically complex region on the visible disk with being a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group and has produced a few low M-class flares in the period. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch continues with the target as NOAA 13110. Further M-class flares are expected over the following 24-hour period, with a chance of another low X-class flare.

The position of NOAA 13110 on 3-Oct-2022 at 20:00 UT is:

N17W63 , ( 818", 231" )
