Tan ƒ1 = 0.0047133    Tan ƒ2 = 0.0046899

At time t1 (decimal hours), each Besselian element is evaluated by:

a = a0 + a1*t + a2*t^2 + a3*t^3    (or a = Σ [an*t^n]; n = 0 to 3)

where:    a = x, y, d, l1, l2, or μ
t = t1 - t0  (decimal hours) and t0 = 14.000 TDT

The Besselian elements were derived from a least-squares fit to elements
calculated at five uniformly spaced times over a six hour period centered at t0.
The Besselian elements are valid over the period 11.00 ≤ t0 ≤ 17.00 TDT.

Note that all times are expressed in Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TDT).

Saros Series 133:  Member 44 of 72 eclipses in series.
