Hi Mithilesh:

 

Thanks for making it so convenient for us in the central time zone.

Yes, your calculations are correct and CDT (Central Daylight)

currently is 5 hours behind UT. This is what I found from a NASA

website:

 

2004 Oct 14: Partial Solar Eclipse

 

The second solar eclipse of 2004 is visible from the northern

hemisphere. Northeastern Asia, the Pacific Ocean and parts of Alaska

will fall within the Moon's penumbral shadow (Figure 3). Greatest

eclipse takes place at 02:59:18 UT when the eclipse magnitude will

reach 0.9270. The contact times of the Moon's penumbral shadow with

Earth are as follows:

 

Partial Eclipse Begins: 00:54:38 UT

Partial Eclipse Ends: 05:04:17 UT

 

Local circumstances for a number of cities are given in Table 3. All

times are provided in Universal Time. The Sun's altitude and azimuth,

the eclipse magnitude and obscuration are all listed for the instant

of maximum eclipse. Of special note to North Americans is that both

Hawaii and Alaska will witness this eclipse at sunset.

 

This is the 54th eclipse of Saros series 124, another old series

which produced its last central eclipse on 1986 Oct 03. The event was

an unusual beaded annular eclipse with a very short path just off the

west coast of Iceland. Saros 124 will continue to produce partial

eclipses of decreasing magnitude until 2347 May 11.

 

Thanks and good luck!
