Just saw I-51 flare at -7 at 6:32:56, 191 degrees, 69 elevation (per HA) about 11 o'clock position above the 2/3 moon. Had the video set up but my luck and inexperience, the flare was just out of the FOV. Too greedy on the zoom! Along with the thread earlier about the highest elevation, this is probably the highest we've seen and with a blue sunrise (but somewhat hazy) summer sky. Suddenly we have a string of 9 (nine!) -7 or -8 flares coming up over the next 5 days both morning and night after a long dry spell. And most are at reasonable times. If our hazy summer nights cooperate, we'll see most of them and maybe catch a few on video. We're still amazed!
