Yes, it is easier to spot recalesence than decalesence but they're the same thing only in reverce. If you watch the steel in the forge you will see the it dim and then brighten just as you did when you when you took the steel out of the forge. It's easier to spot in reduced light. The joke about it is that you heat treat on a moonless night but doing it after sundown is not a bad idea unless you can reduce the ambient light in the forge building without exposing yourself to carbon monoxide poisoning. Keep at it; you'll get it.
