Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low level. The target region has now rotated fully onto the visible disk and shows some small sunspots, but was unnumbered at the start of the UT day. This region appears to have a beta/C-type sunspot group classification and has continued to be the source of B-class flares and a C1.2 flare on 22-Mar-2022 at 10:57 UT. However, the largest flare of the period was a C7.0 on 22-Mar-2022 at 12:15 UT from a new small sunspot region rotating over the North East limb (that also produced a C1.0 on 22-Mar-2022 at 04:07 UT). The MMCO target region switches to the North East limb region, for at least 24 hours until its longitudinal extent and magnetic configuration is better observed. Additional C-class activity is probable in the next 24 hours.

The approximate position of this region on 22-Mar-2022 at 18:00 UT is:

N13E90 , ( -938", 215" )
