Comment 75 for bug 575621

Hello Allan,

Just tried indeed Athens (484CE) and I also see 05:38 UT (so within the
error range I have). Which DeltaT formula was used at the end
(Stephenson&Morrison 2004)?

The -135 April 15 at 6:09 UT (Babylon) can also be recreated (although it
is not a full eclipse, but almost).

All the best,

Victor
