Inex series

This eclipse is a part of the long period inex cycle, repeating at alternating nodes, every 358 synodic months (≈ 10,571.95 days, or 29 years minus 20 days). Their appearance and longitude are irregular due to a lack of synchronization with the anomalistic month (period of perigee). However, groupings of 3 inex cycles (≈ 87 years minus 2 months) comes close (≈ 1,151.02 anomalistic months), so eclipses are similar in these groupings.

In the 19th century:

• Solar Saros 120: Total Solar Eclipse of 1816 Nov 19

• Solar Saros 121: Hybrid Solar Eclipse of 1845 Oct 30

• Solar Saros 122: Annular Solar Eclipse of 1874 Oct 10
