Re: [Utah-astronomy] Great Basin for Annular Eclipse
Craig, thanks for catching that. I tried to remember the town that started with a "T" and Torrey seemed to pop into my thoughts at the time. According to the Navy's data, the duration of the eclipse is 2h 12m 39.3s, with the duration of annularity of 4m 15.5s for Tropic. Ely is recognized as the closest location for Great Basin. The duration there is listed as 2h 16m 44.3s with the duration of annularity of 3m 14.8s. With the Sun north of Wheeler Peak at that time, according to Kelly Carroll, I believe we're in for a treat. However, if anyone is going to be in the Capitol Reef area, the previously listed duration times still apply. Have a good one and clear skies! Tom Sevcik
NASA puts the sun at 13 degrees at end of annularity from Great Basin , Kelly mentioned 10 degree Horizon.
This is the uses the exact location of Great Basin not a nearby town.

Actual horizon and theoretical horizon are ALWAYS markedly different, unless you live in Kansas or are on the open sea. As the realtors often say, it's location, location, location... On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 5:03 PM, <erikhansen@thebluezone.net> wrote:
