    In IridFlar documentation Version 2.0
                          -----------

Lunar flare prediction added to IRIDFLAR.  A toggle has been added to
the Main Menu (S, for Source) to select either the sun or the moon
as the flare source.  For lunar flares, IRIDFLAR requires that the
sun also be blocked by the earth.  (Diffuse solar reflection by
Iridium is brighter than the brightest lunar specular reflection).
You will need binoculars or a telescope to see lunar flares.
 
(Source=Moon in the .cfg file)
