Total Solar Eclipse 2002 December 4.


Baily Bead Predictions

from David Herald's winOCCULT program version 2.0.1


The chosen site is just NW of Laura Bay at 133d 48m 12s E,

-32d 11m 19s S and at an estimated elevation of 5 meters.

 

This location is 75% of half the path width from the centre line (or 14 km from the centre line), to maximise the number of Baily Beads. Compare the lower number that can be seen for the Ceduna Caravan Park Site (A), at 133d 41m 30s E, -32d 07m 30s S.

 

The search for these beads starts at 9h 9m 43s.

The time of totality at Laura Bay is 23 s, and at Ceduna it is 31 s.
