Greg wrote 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. Kevin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
