Creating a Lunar Eclipse Chart – shows creating a new Eclipse Chart on an iPad Air 2 simulator on a Mac. It shows a mouse – on actual iPad you would tap.
Important Note
TL;DR Ensure the loaded chart Year is the Year of the eclipse you want to save.
When you tap on New Chart and tap on the Eclipse icon the eclipses shown relate to the date of the chart.
To see eclipses at a preferred date range tap on Secondary Progressed, or Transit which will take you to a now date. Adjust the date to the approx time you wish to save the eclipse. Now tap on New Chart and tap on the Eclipse icon. This will give you your preferred eclipse date range related to the date of the chart.
Maximum Eclipse time and Exact Lunar Phase Time
Eclipse Chart – Save
If Exact Lunar Phase is selected the chart name has either NM or FM appended to the chart name – note that this field is editable.
- NM = New Moon (Solar Eclipse).
- FM = Full Moon (Lunar Eclipse)
Note all times are UT in the Eclipse Table. All Eclipse times are converted to local time when saving as an Eclipse Chart.
The eclipse glyph (Solar and Lunar) will always show the maximum eclipse time/degree and minute.
Note also that appulse is the same as penumbral.
