Hello Frank,
I know clearly understand that the apparent altitudes (caused mainly by parallax differences) and the same Zn's were the reason why I was able to see the Eclipse at the Dallas area at that time.
By the way, during the peak of the eclipse, I was able to see Venus southwest from the Eclipse and its position makes sense based on the HC and ZN calculated by the USNO clone.
Thank you very much for the explanation!
