thanks for the clarification. has anyone here observed an annular eclipse before? if so, what are your thoughts on this centerline discussion?
The human brain likes symmetry. The closer to the centerline you are, the more symmetrical the ring of uncovered sun will be at totality. It's a strictly subjective, personal thing only. If you don't care if the moon is a bit more off-center at maximum eclipse, being precisely on the centerline isn't an issue.
