This is as far as I’m going today. From my spreadsheet the Sun is in partial eclipse between 15:34 and 18:25 UT, almost two hours and longer than you might imagine. The wobbliness of the last four columns on the right is probably due to the Zn figures used being given to no more than one decimal place, which is all one would normally need. Another interesting fact is just how important using the correct PinA is, because it changes relatively quickly. DaveP
