To find the days when eclipses happen.

It is required to find the number of eclipses

in the year 1806; and on what Days they happen.

The mean Long. of )’s north Ω in 1806 is 9S=7˚=14’=28”

                                                                 6

Add 6S gives Moon’s south node            3=7=14=28

May be one in January, when ּ Long. is   &nSsp; 9S=11˚=21’

May be one in June, when ּ Long. is          3=7=46

May be one in Dec. when ּ Long. is           9=7=2

[Node Months]

January.

June.

December.

It is required to find the number of eclipses

in the year 1811.

The Moon’s north node in 1811 is    6S=0˚=32’=42”

                                                          6

The Moon’s south node                   0=0=32=42

One eclipse in March ּ Long. is about 32’=42”

May be another in March ּ Long. being about 32’=42”
