Analytical techniques for predicting the occurrence of a total eclipse at a particular location are summarized. Emphasis is placed on the use of two opposing sites on the limb of the moon as the loci for predicting the location and total area of a solar eclipse. The calculations are carried out using astronomical ephemerides and, in the case of observations from an aircraft, consider the magnetic declination of the earth and the flight path of the aircraft. Sample data are presented for measurements of the eclipse area predicted and measured during the flight of an instrumented aircraft. The alterations in the location of the lunar limb due to the coronal light of the sun are noted.
