Milstar 2 - a difficult one as its nowhere near as bright as Milstar 5.
Its rather faint at the start of the evening and brightens as
the night progresses. I have not yet seen any flashing as I
am too lazy to wait till it reaches opposition to see if
it flashes.
Milstar 5 - always reasonably bright - again I have not hung around long enough
to see if it flashes as the phase angle changes.
I assume you mean flare:) I have never seen milstar flash, but flare up when it reaches a area
around 180 degrees from the sun, are a difference of 12 hours Right Ascention from the sun
position in R.A
All I can say is I really went wacky, that night, I saw my first milstar flare.
And to think I had a crazy idea, that the milstar's would flare up, at the right time of night.
