I am looking for software or tool that streamlines eclipse calculations and handles constraints. I know where to find the ephemeris and the times of minimum. I can calculate the time of upcoming eclipses. Ideally this software can factor in my observation location and show only eclipses that I can observe. I am currently working on such a tool, but wanted to check if one already exists.

Hi, I use the program ‘Ephemerides’ that works fine finding ToM with many filters for selecting events suitable for any location. The program was recently updated by Gerald Persha (gpersha in AAVSO profile) in order to get data from Brno database and TIDAK (Krakow Database).
