Does anyone out there in sundial land have a source that gives the
circumstances of lunar eclipses in 1582? I am trying to help a young man
with a project related to efforts to determine the longitude of Mexico City
in that time period. We need an eclipse that is visible in both Madrid and
Mexic
I want to thank everyone who responded to my request for information on an
historical lunar eclipse. Thanks to Tony Kitto, the correct eclipse was
found to be on September 26/27, 1577.
The Sundial list is a fabulous resource for practical astronomy information.
Best regards,
Jim
