Geoff H.,
You likely noticed that in my text I wrote that the last contact was at 18:51:11.0 UT, whereas it was actually at 18:51:10.5 UT, as I'd highlighted in the attached file.
Glad to hear that your run with standard refraction gave results identical to what I should have written: first and last contacts at 15:36:08.0 UT and 18:51:10.5 UT, respectively.
Thank you,
Chuck V.
