A recent press release from Cerro Paranal (home of the VLT) where local staff have been photographing the Green Flash (last refracted rays of the setting sun, or first rays of the rising sun): http://www.eso.org/public/outreach/press-rel/pr-2008/pr-12-08.html Some nice pics, and possibly the best one I have ever seen of the blue flash (which I saw once, but did not photograph). -- Mike Dworetsky (Remove pants sp*mbl*ck to reply)
