XII.] Or the _Argument_ of her _Latitude_; which in Table XIV, gives the Moon’s true Latitude, _viz._ 9ʹ 56ʺ North Descending. 385. Having by the foregoing precepts § 355 found the true time of Opposition of the Sun and Moon in a lunar Eclipse, with the Moon’s Anomaly enter Table XV and take out her horizontal Parallax, also her true horary Motion and Semi-diameter: and likewise those of the Sun by his Anomaly, as already taught § 364 & _seq._ Then add the Sun’s horizontal Parallax, which is always 10 Seconds, to the Moon’s horizontal Parallax, and from their sum subtract the Sun’s Semi-diameter; the remainder will be the Semi-diameter of that part of the Earth’s shadow which the Moon goes through. 386. From the Sum of the Semi-diameters of the Moon and Earth’s Shadow, subtract the Moon’s Latitude; the remainder is the parts deficient. Then, as the Semi-diameter of the Moon is to 6 Digits, so are the parts deficient to the Digits eclipsed. 387. If the parts deficient be more than the Moon’s Diameter, the Eclipse will be total with continuance; if less, it will not be total; if equal, it will be total, but without continuance. 388. Now collect the Elements for projecting this Eclipse. ʹ ʺ Moon’s horizontal Parallax 55 32 Sun’s horizontal Parallax (always) 10 The Sum of both Parallaxes 55 42 From which subtract the Sun’s Semi-diameter 15 54 Remains the Semi-diameter of the Earth’s Shadow 39 48 Semidiameter of the Moon 15 2 Sum of the two last 54 50 Moon’s Latitude subtract 9 56 Remains the parts deficient 45 0 Moon’s horary motion 30 46 Sun’s horary motion subtract 2 24 Remains the Moon’s horary motion from the Sun 28 22
