I do agree with you that it was a confusing way for him to express it. I would also have thought he meant Dec 31, 2029 had I not already seen the Jan1 2029 in my list. His attachment with circumstances did list it as Dec 31 2028.
I know that all the various people producing interactive maps, circumstances, predictions etc for solar and lunar eclipses have put a lot of effort into getting it all correct and consistent right down to moving from the old Watts lunar limb profile to the much more accurate Kaguya profile so that even limb corrections are consistent.
I trust anything by :
Espenak (mreclipse.com)
Ernest Wright (NASA)
Bill Kramer(eclipse-chasers.com)
Xavier Jubier(xjubier.free.fr)
Michael Zeiler (eclipse-maps.com)
Chris O'Byrne(eclipse explorer calculator)
Dave Herald(Occult software)
and probably quite a few others.
Cheers and clear skies
