> Just how illuminated is the ground from a -8 flare? I assume that a good test for this would be to first see if that would cast a shadow. Not too hard to test, but you would probably need a pretty dark sky site. As for the "cone of brightness", you can input coordinates west and east of a flare centerline in H-A, etc. to see the degree of drop-off.
