Dennis, I know exactly what you mean, for I am about to go through the same exercise on May 16-18 with four such flares (-5.8 to -6.4) thanks to I-76, I-83, I-46 and I-49. Of course, this is in addition to a number of others between -0 and -2.2. > I'm still amazed every time we see one! Me too. I had a -6.4 flare just the other night (nailed it on film, of course) and was thoroughly impressed. I am currently pigging out on flares through Aqr. With the moon just about to start rising after 4:15 AM, I am in the clear for all four whoppers over the next three days as far as lunar glare goes. With some careful shutter release work, I should be able to minimize the affects of sky glow as well as these are between 15 and 20 seconds. Man this is fun!
