There is no room for error here.
Fair enough Geoff! as i said im not an expert....good call though on the "trial and error " bit...... Eclipses dont come around that often.......

You're right, the light drops very fast near the end.
That's a quick summary of my thinking to date. Would love to hear others ideas on this.
