On Wednesday evening, Ed and I watched NOAA 17 flare to about
magnitude -2.  The overall time for brighter than normal
magnitude was greater than 30 seconds.  The time for brighter
than 0 magnitude was about 10 seconds.  From that I would guess
that it is capable of much brighter flares when an exact alignment
occurs.  The flare occurred near culmination at alt 74, azi 79.
