Software recommendation

Steve,

Thanks. I wasn't aware of that site. I unfortunately now have a slightly different question to ask - which I will post in the Software section of IceinSpace. Xavier's site calculates percentages for maximum BUT only if maximum occurs before the Sun sets. It doesn't do it if maximum occurs after Sunset. Arrg!!

This occurs for various parts of Australia with the 2014 partial solar eclipse. I now need to track down a recommendation for how to work out what percentage of the Sun will be for those locations at Sunset.

You have been a big help as it gives me an answer for some of the locations on my solar eclipse pinhole viewer.

Regards,

Paul Floyd.
