Default Miltassia Dark Star "The Orchid Works" Bloom Question

Hi I purchased a gorgeous Miltassia Dark Star "The Orchid Works" from the Parkside Orchid Fest. It has 4 spikes and the first one is just starting to bloom now. I've never grown one before but the care seems to be similar to an Oncidium but it needs less light? It's currently in the house in an east window where it gets about 2 hours of early morning sun. I just wondered since I'm in PA zone 5 and summer will be disappearing soon if I should be doing anything at this time of year to help for blooms NEXT year? Should it have more light? Should I put it outside with my other Oncidiums? (they are outside east deck with light from 9:30-12:00 and seem happy) or put it outside with my phals under 50% shade cloth same east area? I'm really enjoying the blooms indoors but would love to get other blooms later!
Thank you!

Light levels are the amounts necessary to set buds. Since yours are formed the higher light is not necessary.

Enjoy the flowers inside and put it out in the spring to initiate buds next year.

Oncidium intergenerics are easy to grow and flower. They do not take any special care. Regular watering and feeding and the flowers will follow.

Thanks so much Jerry for the information. I'll definately enjoy the flowers inside and put out next spring. It's even better to hear it takes no special care
