During an opening of the nearly constant cloud cover lately.....Last night 
03/05/09 before midnight at 2325:56 hrs. PST.

Not real sure of this one. Traveling slow like my earlier long one on a 
similar flight path, with True North reference..... a near perfect West to 
East, beginning its ablation at 56 Deg. Elevation and ending its ablation at 
40 degrees East with a momentary visible particle(?) separation at 39 
degrees afterward.

Two distinct flareups, Largest was first. Smaller flareup right after it. 
Camera was set at low brightness sensitivity because it had been (left) that 
way :-(  for daylight captures.

Will check AMS for supporting reports from observers before logging it in 
with AMS. Will put up photo later. Am calibrating a new telescope & do not 
have time right now.....Sorry.
