Flash location is about 1 degree west of eta Virginis, and 0
to 2.5 degrees north of the star depending on your latitude.
For Miami it's about 2.5 degrees north of the star (and 1
degree west), but for Chicago it's less than 1/4-degree
north of the star (and ~ 1 degree west).  Flashes should
be visible through binoculars for 6 to 8 minutes at each
location (centered on the above times).  --Rob
