Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13068 was designated as an alpha/H-type sunspot group at the beginning of the UT day, but this classification is highly foreshortened due to it rotating up to the South West limb. 13068 was the source of the largest event in the period, a C1.6 flare on 7-Aug-2022 at 22:53 UT. Although 13068 has now rotated slightly over the South West limb, this region continues to be the target for a final 24 hours until its high-lying coronal loops can no longer be seen. B-class activity is expected in the following 24-hour period, with a chance for another C-class flare. The limb position of NOAA 13068 on 8-Aug-2022 at 13:30 UT is: S15W90 , ( 913", -243" ) 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.
