    I was fooling around again.
    
    On Mar 20, 2015 the moon and sun will be in a good spot, to allow the moon's shadow to block part
    of the sun's light as seen from the geo sat belt.
    
    I get roughly in the area of 102-103 degrees West as where a geo sat parked would witness a
    annular solar eclipse. Is this correct, are did I really make a error in my rough quess.
    
    I know I am nuts, but that would be kind of neat to see the sat drop in mag.
    
    From what I can tell the earth won't be in the way as the geo sat passes into the moon's shadow.
    
    Sorry for the strange question.
    
    Kevin
