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.
