Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at low levels. The active region in the
northeast quadrant has now been designated as NOAA 12803 and is
classified as an alpha/A-type region. It has produced several A-class
flares since the last message as well as a B1.1 flare at 11:47 UT
today, It shall remain the target region with further low-level
activity expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12803 on 20-Feb-2021 at 12:30 UT is:
N21E55, ( -743", 409" )

Dear Collaborators,
The target region near the northeast limb has now rotated on to the
visible solar disk. It remains unnumbered and unclassified, but does
appear to possess some small sunspots. The region has continued to
produce A- and B-level activity since the last message, including a
long-duration B1.4 flare at 20:00 UT yesterday. Further B-level
activity expected over the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target region on 19-Feb-2021 at 12:30 UT is:
N23E72, ( -851", 410" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux has increased steadily since the last message due to
the appearance of the new active region on the northeast limb. The
region has produced several A-class flares as well as a B1.2 flare at
11:45 UT today. The region is still largely behind the limb and so its
magnetic configuration is unknown at this time. It shall remain the
target region with a good chance for increased, possibly C-level,
activity over the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target region on 18-Feb-2021 at 12:30 UT is:
N22E86, ( -897", 369" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has started to increase since the last message due to
the appearance of a new active region that is currently behind the
northeast limb. The region has produced several occulted A-class
flares and shall be the new target region. Chance for increased
activity as the region rotates onto the visible solar disk.
The approximate position of the target region on 17-Feb-2021 at 12:30 UT is:
N22E86, ( -897", 369" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at very low levels. The only event of note
since the last message was an A2.6 flare at 09:29 UT today. The target
region in the southwest quadrant remains quiescent and continues to
decay. It is unlikely to produce any significant activity over the
next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target region on 16-Feb-2021 at 12:30 UT is:
S30W31, ( 432", -397" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at extremely low levels. The small bipolar
region in the southern hemisphere continues to decay, but remains
visible in EUV images. It shall continue as the target region for
another 24 hours, although no change in activity is expected at this
time.
The approximate position of the target region on 5-Feb-2021 at 16:30 UT is:
S30W19, ( 272", -397" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux remains steady at the low A-level. There have been no
events of note since the last message. The target region is now
positioned along the southern central meridian and continues to decay,
as does the filament channel to the south. No change in activity
expected over the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target region on 14-Feb-2021 at 08:30 UT is:
S30W01, ( 19", -384" )

Dear Collaborators,
Quiet-Sun conditions continue. The bright region approaching the
central meridian in the southern hemisphere was the source of an A2.9
flare since the last message. The underlying plage continues to decay
but it shall remain the target region. No significant increase in
activity expected over the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target region on 13-Feb-2021 at 12:30 UT is:
S30E08, ( -122", -386" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains unchanged since the last message. The filament
channel to the south of the target region has faded significantly
since the B-class flare two days ago. The target region itself is
still displaying dynamic coronal behavior, and may produce isolated
low-levels events over the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target region on 12-Feb-2021 at 12:30 UT is:
S30E23, ( -336", -394" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux has remained steady at the low A-level since the last
message. The target region has remained quiescent and spotless, but is
still encompassed by a large filament channel to the south. Chance for
an isolated low-level flare over the next few days if the filament
erupts.
The approximate position of the target region on 11-Feb-2021 at 16:30 UT is:
S30E33, ( -454", -401" )
