Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is increasing since the last message due to the
activities from the region behind the Southeast limb. The largest
event in the last 24 hours was a C3.0 flare at 12:06 UT today (2/24)
from the latitude range of S20 to S23 degrees on the Southeast limb.
(And another flare of nearly C4 class is ongoing as of this writing.) 
Although currently no sunspot is visible from us, this region also
produced three more high-B to low-C class flares in the last 12 hours.
Yesterday's target located at S06W20 (remains unnumbered) has not
shown any flare activity since the last message.

Today we will switch the target to the Southeast limb region, because
of the recent flare history. Additional C class events or larger are 
expected in the next 24 hours.

The position of the target on 24-February-2026 at 17:00 UT is:
S21E89  (-901", -353").
