Eclipse diagram

You can have a look to where in the sky the eclipse contacts will take place.

For first and last contacts, the moon is outlined by a black dashed circle on a blue sky, and the sun drawn as a yellow disk.
For second contact, maximum and third contact:
- The moon is drawn as a black disk.
- For a total eclipse, the sun is outlined by a dashed yellow circle, it remains a yellow disk for an annular.
- The sky displays a corona picture for total eclipses, and remains blue for annulars.

The displayed event is selected with the segmented bar at the bottom of the view.

At the top of the view, you can choose between an altazimuthal orientation (zenith at top), or an equatorial one (north at top). And you can also choose to flip the view along horizontal or vertical axis, or both, to match the view in your instrument (and maybe account for southern hemisphere).
