GF Question made easier.
Four types of Green Flash and can, theoretically, be seen at different times
of the same day as in same daylight hours. Flying North/South is agood one but doesn't win any points because you are seeing the same type of GF over and over and over again . . .my friend . . . . A tribute to one of the Doors few lines of poetry that weren't truly boringly insipid. Here's the next hint. Two of them are are almost exactly 12 hours apart from the other two. Here's a bigger hint. Two of them are at a different altitude from the other two. And for Katy . ...never look directly into the sun. Wait until 'most' of the orb is below the horizon and only the top ...10% or so remains . ..then look. The horizon must be clear of haze, sandstorms, clouds,fogbankswhat have you AND if you use binoculars which will under those viewing conditions net you a look each and every time . . .DON't look until most of the sun isbelow the horizon. Otherwise, as Katy properly warns, " Visual Purple burn in my head. . . . .(a tribute to Jimi and the Optometrists.) . . ... " M. |

GF Question made easier.
Very close. Joe figured in half out. There are two green flash phenomenae
(archaic spelling) one at sunset and one at sunrise. The one at sunrise is more difficult to see but on a good morning not impossible. Each of those two has a mod 1 version. Mod 1 is navy lingo for modification. But it doesn't involve airplanes or mast climbing. The next hint is: A certain, specific weathercondition will give a second GF at a different altitude both morning and evening. This is the group where I've managed to see one but the fourth one still eludes. M. "Joe" wrote in message om... "Michael" wrote in message ... Climb up and down the mast at sunrise and sunset.
