PLOTTING THE PATH ON MAPS

If high resolution maps of the umbral path are needed, the coordinates listed in Table 7 are conveniently provided at 1 degree increments of longitude to assist plotting by hand. The path coordinates in Table 3 define a line of maximum eclipse at five minute increments in Universal Time. It is also advisable to include lunar limb corrections to the northern and southern limits listed in Table 6, especially if observations are planned from the graze zones. Global Navigation Charts (1:5,000,000), Operational Navigation Charts (scale 1:1,000,000) and Tactical Pilotage Charts (1:500,000) of many parts of the world can be obtained from the Defense Mapping Agency.
