Interactive GoogleMap of Shadow Path
Generated using Occult v4This is a beta test (does not work on all browsers) using GOOGLE Maps.
Google map and offset coding by Geoff Hitchcox <Kiwi Geoff>
Additional script coding by Rob Walker and Kyle Mulka. Path calculations by OCCULT software.
Zoom in and out with control at left of map. You can "drag" map by holding down
left mouse button.
Double-clicking will center map at tip of mouse pointer, the lat/lon and
perpendicular distance from center path is then given beneath map.
GREEN=Center of Path , Gray=User defined offsets to center line.
BLUE=Predicted Path , RED=One Sigma Error Limits.
Top of Map = North , Left = West , Right = East , Bottom = South
#### Handy HINT #### If you are using dialup and not all tiles load on the map,
press the "-" pad on the zoom control (left side of map) then one second later
press the "+" pad. This will take you back to the same zoom setting, but reload
any tiles that are missing.
The TOPO Button provides elevation data for the USA. Other areas should use the new TERRAIN Button.
Most of these buttons zoom very well. Some do not.
The "GOES-IR" and "WX-HYBRID" buttons are recommended to be viewed at the CURRENT zoom level.
ENJOY!
*NOTE* Observing zone for Lunar Grazes is Longitude dependant. Please set observing zone for your area !!! Help is available.

Use + or - in following input boxes to decide which side of the GREEN line to draw line.
A + value places a line on the True Right Hand Side of the path (in direction of increasing time).
When this page initially opens, one gray line is set further out from the center (GREEN) path.
The further displaced gray line (as you zoom in) is the True RIGHT HAND side of the path.
