My Plastic Limit (Visa) is what keeps me from owning my dream refractor.
I have heard of sitting and then standing to lengthen the flash, but I
have never tried it. If I were to try to run up a slope to extend the time I am afraid I would experience gravitational acceleration myself and then exceed my own plastic limit!

Exactly what I was responding to and referring to. I'm sure everyone understood, Brent.
Have you ever run up-slope quickly to lengthen the green flash?

I've seen hundreds of green flashes, but no blue flashes. There are photos of green flashes, but I have not seen one of the blue flash. I am talking about the blue flash seen as the sun sets. Caused by refraction of the sunlight through the earth's atmosphere. Just wanted to be clear about that.
