Lisa, Just look at the time of the eclipse (p. 5 of the almanac) the time is GMT, of course, and then on the daily page in the same almanach under your latitude, right side of the odd page, where it shows the moonrise and moonset on your latitude. If the eclipse is within these limits, you can see it. Then convert GMT to your local time and be ready with your binoculars. Now I am tired and it is late, so I have to go to sleep, but if you don't have your almanach with you, or if my directions are confusing, write me your latitudde and longitude and time zone, and I will figure out for you tomorrow morning. (say at 10 a.m. my local time when I usually first check my e-mail:-) There will be still plenty of time to the eclipse. Alex.
