Prowler flared in the 3rd of 3 images, the first time I have seen her do that.

Approximate positions of this flare:

begin    RA 17 25 24.73  DEC -20 49 41.7
maximum  RA 17 25 26.15  DEC -20 49 45.2
end      RA 17 25 27.36  DEC -20 49 45.6

Extrapolation from the measured timed positions above, gives the following 
approximate times for the flare:

begin      09:25:23.9  (UT, 10 June)
maximum    09:25:25.3  (UT, 10 June)
end        09:25:26.5  (UT, 10 June)

So about 2.5 seconds duration.

Will post images later.
