Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. The target region has now rotated onto the visible disk and, although it shows leading and trailing sunspots both with penumbrae (potentially a beta/D-type classification), it has remained unnumbered at the beginning of the UT day. An additional region containing larger sunspots is rotating over the North East limb just slightly behind yesterday's target region. Several of the flares associated to yesterday's target region may have actually come from the new limb-crossing region and it has clearly produced several C-class flares since the last message. The target region switches to the newer (and larger) spot region rotating over the North East limb. Further C-class flaring is expected over the following 24-hour period.

The approximate position of this region on 23-Mar-2022 at 23:00 UT is:

N13E85 , ( -924", 235" )
