Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues to be at a low level since the last message.
The largest event in the last 24 hours was a C2.1 flare at 19:44 UT
yesterday(5/19) from the target region, NOAA 14436. This region
underwent a new flux emergence in the Southeast portion of the main
sunspot, which resulted in several more low-C class flares yesterday.
NOAA 14441 located in the Northwest quadrant is showing stable 
growth by adding new sunspots, but currently having produced only 
one B-class flare.

Today we will continue to observe the Southeast portion of NOAA 14436,
expecting additional low-C class flares before reaching at the limb.
The position of the target in NOAA 14436 on 20-May-2026
at 15:30 UT is: N17W71  (855", 297").
