Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low level. The largest event since the last message was a C1.2 flare at 00:39 UT today from the target region NOAA 14419. 14419 was also the source of a C1.0 and nine B-class flares. It has been designated as a beta-gamma/E-type configuration now, further increasing the sunspot area and number of spots. Additional C-class flares are expected in the coming 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14419 on April 16 at 07:30 UT is: N13E39 (-587", 284")
