Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13451 has grown slightly since the last message, increasing in magnetic complexity to be designated as a beta-gamma/D-type group. This region again produced most of the flares in the period including the largest magnitude flare - a C4.7 flare on 5-Oct-2023 at 19:03 UT. Nearby region NOAA 13452 (a beta-gamma/E-type group) showed signs of decay and produced one C-class flare. Additional C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13451 on 6-Oct-2023 at 18:00 UT is:
N17W17 , ( 267", 181" )
