Re: [guide-user] Partial solar eclipses in Guide

Luc Desamore May 26, 2012

If I compare Guide map with maps from links given on the Nasa web site :
http://eclipse-maps.com/Eclipse-Maps/Gallery/Pages/Annular_solar_eclipse_of_2012_May_20_files/ASE2012_detailmap_Texas_1.jpg

I do not see any difference on the eastern limit, look at Odessa in
Texas at the south limit of the path.
