Very interesting talks at the #SolarEclipse Conference - https://www.vvs.be/subsite/sec-2025/programme - in Belgium I am attending online: here is the key result by Luca Quaglia who had reported his work in great detail in the papers https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4365/ac1279 (2021), https://www.iota-es.de/JOA/JOA2022_2.pdf#page=3 (2022) and https://www.iota-es.de/JOA/JOA2024_4.pdf#page=3 (2024) already. There seems to be NO way by now to escape the conclusion the the solar - i.e. photospheric - diameter used by many in the past (and various eclipse map calculations sites still today) is too small. So everyone should use Quaglia's free precision tools at https://www.besselianelements.com instead to get the real length of totality at one's observing spot. And when you are observing at the edges of the totality zone the tools will tell you where the actual border is: traditional maps can the off by some margin! 1/n
