There have been no prior SeeSat postings about this. I deliberately didn't say anything until there was a success in observing a flare. Don said he had seen a flare some time ago by accident, he was just looking in the right place at the right time. But this is the first time a deliberate search of a predicted event was successful. This has to be a pioneering milestone in satellite observation, so I thought it worthy of sharing the success and praising the guy who was instrumental in pulling it off.
