===OM content: I wished I had my 350+1.4x pointing at it. I watched and was
ready for the flash several nights after that. Never saw it again.

I don't think any camera / lens combination would have helped here.
It has been my understanding that the green flash effect is a trick of the
eye.
As the bright glow of the sun suddenly disappears from the back of your eye
a remnant of that light remains for an instant. It appears green.
I have seen a few greenies and they only lasted an instant.
There is a web site about this somewhere but I never visited it and may
be completely wrong. I never have seen a photo of a green flash.
and doubt it could be done.
Those more knowledgeable feel free to slam away.
