Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at moderate levels. The largest event since the last message was an M6.0 flare at 01/15/03:08 UT produced by the target NOAA 13191. 13191 has been classified as a beta/D-type configuration with an increase in the sunspot area and number of spots. Please note that NOAA 13182 (S18W53, beta-gamma/D-type) produced two low M-class flares (M3.5 and M4.6) and nine C-class flares in the past 24 hours. If possible, please also include NOAA 13192 (N19E56, beta/D-type) in your field of view. M-class flares are still expected in the next 24-48 hours.

The position of NOAA 13191 on January 15 at 08:30 UT

N11E50 (-735", 234")
