Let's see if this copy from Que Tal! will work: Time Table for Lunar Eclipse Events (all times CST) P1:penumbral first contact 1921 - 23 March U1:start of eclipse 2054 U2:mid-eclipse 2239 U3:end of partial 0022 - 24 March P2:penumbral last contact 0138 Local Times for Sunset and Moonrise Wash. DC Kansas City Denver San Francisco Sunset: 1824 1834 1815 1825 Moonrise: 1901 1819 1819 1815 So, you'll have to adjust your times from Central Standard time. Looks like it'll be early enuf here for my kids to see it (barring snow again!) jkc On 02/25/97 12:41:03 you wrote: > >10:30 eastern time, correct? > > > > > >>It should be.
