Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity remains at a very low level. The visible side of the solar 

disk is currently spotless except short-lived tiny pores appeared with 

some EUV bright points. The largest event in the last 24 hours was a 

C1.5 flare at 15:26 UT yesterday (2/22) associated with a filament 

eruption from the Southwest limb. The target region, NOAA 14377 has 

lost sunspot area and keeps flare-quiet for a few days.

There are at least two bright regions rotated from the East limb at
the latitude of N18 and N03 degrees, respectively, however no sunspot
can be seen with them and currently not showing flare activity.
There is a spotless bipolar region near the disk center, which produced
a B5.0 flare at 02:43 UT today. This region also produced a B6.6
flare two days ago (2/21). In the next 24 hours, we will switch the
default target to observe this unnumbered region near the disk center.

The position of the target region on 23-February-2026 at 17:00 UT is:
S06W05  (97", 11").
