Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. All of the high-lying coronal loops of target region NOAA 13068 have now rotated out of Earth-view. Only two B-class flares occurred in the period (a B7.9 and a B6.8 both on 8-Aug-2022 at 13:52 UT and 21:53 UT, respectively) with NOAA 13074 being the source of both. A new flux region began emerging approximately 24 hours ago and has already formed small spots in both polarities close to central meridian. This new, currently unnumbered region is the target region. B-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for a low C-class flare. The approximate position of this region on 9-Aug-2022 at 12:00 UT is: S08W01 , ( 18", -235" ) 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.
