Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target NOAA 13060 has decayed slightly since the last message and maintains an alpha/H-type sunspot class, while nearby NOAA 13058 decayed to become an alpha/H-type sunspot class. These regions were quiet for most of the period, but have recently produced two low C-class flares from the flux connections between them. The largest flare in the period was a C6.1 on 21-Jul-2022 at 23:39 UT from NOAA 13056 that has subsequently fully rotated over the South West limb. The target will remain with 13060 but the location shifts slightly to the mid-point between NOAA 13060 and 13058. Additional C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours. The position between NOAA 13058 and NOAA 13060 on 22-Jul-2022 at 19:00 UT is: N14W35 , ( 527", 163" ) See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
