Lew,
This was an interesting proposal you had that may have some merit. I
attempted magnitude estimates during the total lunar eclipse of July
5, 1982. I made my estimates at the zenith using the magnitudes of
known stars. The values I obtained ranged from 5.0 at first contact
to 7.2 at mid-eclipse. Oh to have that youthful eyesight again!
