Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has reduced to a low level since the last message. Several high-B to low-C class flares were reported from the region rotated from the Northeast limb in the recent 24 hours, with the largest being a C3.2 at 04:56 UT today(10/23). A single sunspot is visible close to the equator on the East limb. However, the flare activities are coming from a plage region located at the North of the sunspot, which is likely to be the remnant of NOAA 14236 that had grown to over 300 millionths in early October.
The target region, centered at NOAA 14262 has been flare-quiet since the last message. Today, we will switch the target to the plage region (unnumbered) from the Northeast limb, considering the frequent flare history in the past 24 hours. Additional C class events are expected.
The position of the target on 23-October-2025 at 15:30 UT is: N05E74 (-925", 68").
