David P, you wrote:
"You might not need to wiggle discs. Just add a further column root(diff Hs squared + diff azimuths squared) greater than 32', and theres no partial eclipse. I'm still working on it. To find LL just visible despite partial eclipse will need further thought; it depends on the striking paths."
Thank you for all your posts on this. I just quickly browsed them. I'll take some time later today, with luck by noon (here), to read more closely and get back to you.
Is anyone else following along? Please do comment.
