Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity remains low since the last message. The largest event
in the last 24 hours was a C6.5 flare at 02:56 UT today (2/28) from
the West side of the leading sunspot of NOAA 14380, but activity
from this region has reduced in the latest 12 hours.    

The sunspot that rotated from the East limb (~N08 deg) yesterday 
was registered as NOAA 14381. This region is reported as the source
of several low-C class flares, but some of them appear to come from 
the area behind the limb rather than from the sunspot on the solar disk.

Today, we will switch the target to NOAA 14381 because of the recent
flare history. We will observe the East of the main sunspot so that
its Eastern extension is covered. Additional C class events are
expected.

The position of the target in NOAA 14381 on 28-February-2026 at
17:00 UT is: N08E76  (-931", 169").
