1. General

The Emapwin Eclipse simulation software has the following main features.

1) Display of the Eclipse Map
  The Emapwin calculates draw the following lines on the map.
  1) Curve of the central line of the umbra
  2) Curve of the northern and southern limit of the umbra
  3) Curve of the northern and southern limit of the penumbra
  4) Curve of the rising and setting
  5) Curve of the maximum eclipse at sunrise and sunset
  6) Curve of the maximum eclipse
  7) Curve of the equal magnitude

  The map can be magnified to display the detail of the eclipse.
  The several parameters such as saros number, time and place of the maximum 
  Eclipse also indicated on the map.
  
2) Display of the table of the Central line

  The Emapwin makes a table indicates the northern, central and southern limit
  of the total or annular eclipse by the parameter of the longitude. So it is 
  easy to draw the line on the map.
  
3) Display of the Local Circumstance
   
  The Emapwin calculate the local circumstance such as maximum magnitude,
  time , altitude of the sun and direction at the given place. The Emapwin 
  also simulate and display the eclipse at the given place.
   
4) Display of the Sky at Max. Magnitude
   
  The Emapwin display the Sky view at maximum magnitude if that point is in 
  the area of the total eclipse.
