    Using your sextant, you will probably unable to see the Moon until it partially overlaps
    the Sun. After this happens, you can measure the distance to the far limb, and process
    it as a normal lunar. If in your location the eclipse is complete, it will be much easier just to
    time the beginning or the end of the full phase.

    The medium gray area is the zone where the 1st and 4th contacts are
    visible, i.e., the beginning and end of a partial eclipse. It
    emcompasses Greenland, Canada, the US (except Hawaii), Mexico, and more.
