I don't know as the moment of sunrise/sunset CAN be predicted with *percise* accuracy since there are so many atmospheric variables, as you stated. As for the "Green Flash", I think I may have seen it ONCE, maybe, out of the corner of my eye. My understanding is that it is a phenomenon usually experienced in the South Pacific. Although I suppose given the right conditions, it might been seen anywhere. Dan Hogan WA6PBY dhhogan@concentric.net Catalina 27 "GACHA"
