Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13068 has slightly decayed since the last message, but remains classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. This region has continued producing C-class flares, totalling three events and the largest being a C4.9 on 5-Aug-2022 at 06:29 UT. A new region has begun emerging slightly south of yesterday's newly numbered NOAA 13072 (itself located slightly south east of NOAA 13068), with the new unnumbered region already producing a C5.5 flare on 5-Aug-2022 at 05:56 UT that was the largest event in the period. The target remains on NOAA 13068 due to its more extensive flaring history and the complexity of the new unnumbered region being currently unknown. Additional C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13068 on 5-Aug-2022 at 13:00 UT is: S15W46 , ( 660", -311" ) 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. Regards, Shaun Bloomfield (Northumbria University)
