Solar activity remains low since the last message. The largest event
in the past 24 hours was a B9.2 flare at 15:22 UT yesterday (8/5)
from NOAA 14498. Yesterday's target, NOAA 14502 produced two mid-B
class flares, while it slightly decreased sunspot area.
NOAA 14498 and its adjacent active region, NOAA 14500 share a bright
plage with a dark flament between them. In addition to the B9.2 flare
from 14498, NOAA 14500 also produced a B5.4 flare at 8:40 UT today.
Although these flares are minor, hot EUV loops are brighter over
these two regions than those in NOAA 14502. Therefore we will switch
the default target back to NOAA 14498 to observe the activities from
these combined regions. The target will be on the South side of the
main sunspot of 14498, expecting additional B-class events or larger
and a filament activity.
