About Predictions
For computation of planetary and lunar positions JPL DE421 ephemerides were numerically integrated via software SOLEX. Eclipse and occultation paths were generated via Occult 4. Transit visibility maps are those of the author. Unless otherwise noted Terrestrial Time is used, as rotation of Earth is inconstant and unpredictable to desireable accuracy.
