Dear Collaborators, <br> 
Solar activity has reached intermediate levels since the last message.
The target region NOAA 13296 was the source of two M1 flares (M1.5
at 05/07/21:40 UT and M1.6 at 05/07/22:53 UT) and also multiple
C-class flares. This region was the most productive and retains its
beta/E-type configuration, with mixed polarities in its leading portion.
13296 shall continue as the target region, but if possible, please also
include NOAA 13297 (N08E03, beta/E-type) in your field of view, which
produced a C3.1 flare at 05:05 UT today. Further low M-class flares
are probable in the next 24-48 hours. 
The position of NOAA 13296 on 8-May-2023 11:30 UT  N16W13 (206&quot;, 316&quot;)
