Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. The target region NOAA 12776 has been confirmed as a beta/C-type sunspot group classification since the last message. NOAA 12776 has continued to produce low B-class activity, while the largest event since the last message was a C1.5 flare on 16-Oct-2020 at 12:46 UT from the region that was previously designated as NOAA 12774. The target shall remain as NOAA 12776, because 12774 is now located significantly beyond the South West limb. Further low B-class flares are probable in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12776 on 16-Oct-2020 at 14:30 UT is:
S12E46 , ( -679", -265" )
