further east the better

Some members asked if the CAO would offer a good view of the solar eclipse. I didn't think so...

All times morning, EST.
5:23 EDT - eclipse starts, -17° altitude
6:16 - mid-eclipse

6:59 - sunrise (over perfect horizon)
7:03 - Moon rise
7:18 - eclipse ends

At the end of the event, the Moon has an...

Azimuth: +113°20'
Apparent Altitude: +01°31'
Altitude above visible horizon: +02°16'

The problem is that our hill elevation to the south-east is 6 to 7°. It would block much of the event.

Go east!
