Measurement of Images by Jay Pasachoff  



Below is a typical Digimizer measured image (inverted for clarity), the Moon's semi-diameter was calibrated to 0.2595 degrees and the best fit circle gave an umbral semi-diameter of  0.617 degrees.


 2739MM



You can see the computed Topocentric values of Fi the umbra semi-diameter and Jay Pasacoff's image measurements compared here.
