Oh yes, I think you're right. But what I was trying to say was that if you're to one side of the centerline the moon would be offset from the middle. I just chose "east" arbitrarily. You can do a mental experiment to see the truth of this: just imagine looking at the eclipse from completely out of the centerline. You'll see a partial on one side. Then move onto the very edge of the centerline. It will be a complete annular, but offset. Then move to the middle, and it's centered. Keep going and it's off to the other side. -- Joe ________________________________ From: Josh <mountaindrifter@gmail.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 11:46 AM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Eclipse survey I thought that since the sun and moon are moving roughly east to west across the sky that the farther south of the center line you go the farther north the moon will cross in front of the sun, and vise versa. Any thoughts?
