2m06s duration?

Skymap pro probably uses an average oblate spheroid for the lunar limb, hence the 2m06s prediction. There are two valleys on each side of the moon that shorten the duration by many seconds.Use one of the calculators that use the Kaguya/Herald limb profile corrections

eg http://eclipse-chasers.com
