I had a look at the new 7beta file and found that I couldn't get the i6
command to work, either.
Alors.... if i just entered 5 min as an interval the circles appeared with
grey(ish) ones at 30min intervals. Same thing happened when 6 was entered.
This is helping me to plan the 2028 eclipse adventure which occurs directly
over Sydney!?

Some other things which I have thought about for eclipse maps is -
1. Could there be a nice white centreline for the eclipse, right in the
middle of the darkest shade?
This would be good for comparison with Carto. maps.

2.Why, when I click on show eclipse does it give me the next eclipse by
date? Does anyone else have this problem?

Update on my scope plans -
I am trying to source steppers from old photocopiers which Steve from Mel's
website (forgotten his last name) has told me worked for him.
The search continues............

- Jean Noel - what is this about bad english, yuo writ beter than me!

cheers
