Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low-to-moderate level. The high-lying loops of target region NOAA 13213 have now rotated completely beyond view over the North West limb. This region was the source of a final M1.0 flare on 15-Feb-2023 at 21:05 UT. A a currently unnumbered region that is in the process of rotating over the North East limb (possibly the return of previous NOAA region 13201) produced the largest magnitude flare in the period - an M1.1 on 16-Feb-2023 at 00:19 UT. The Major Flare Watch now terminates and this North East limb region becomes the new target. C-class flares are expected over the next 24 hours, with a chance for more M-class activity.
The approximate position of this region on 16-Feb-2023 at 17:30 UT is:
N25E90 , ( -880", 407" )
