TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE, 2007 MARCH 3
Further to the notes by Mark Kidger on TA E-Circular 2311, 45 estimates 
so far received of the Danjon value give an average of 2.5. 77% of the 
estimates were in the range 2 to 3. A detailed report from near record 
levels of contribution for such an event will appear in the Planetary 
Notes of the March issue.
