Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has decreased slightly since the last message. 
The largest event during the period was a C8.6 flare at 19:29 
UT yesterday from NOAA 14341 (S11W30, beta-delta/D-type). 
This region also produced a C8.3 flare. NOAA 14349 (S15E40, 
beta/D-type) and the target region NOAA 14345 (S17W23, beta-
gamma/E-type) also produced several mid-to-high C-class flares 
during the period. Today, we will continue to observe NOAA 14345, 
with particular attention to its leading sunspot, which appears 
magnetically connected to NOAA 14341. Additional C-class activity 
is expected over the next 24 hours, with a chance of isolated low-
level M-class events.

The position of NOAA 14345 on 22-Jan-2026 12:30 UT is:

S17W23 (365",-206")
