There are always two or three lunar eclipses per year, and over a ten year period it is impossible that there would be a location for which no eclipse would be visible. Sounds like I have a bug! Could you tell me the exact city or lat/long you are using, along with the values of the other settings on the selection page you are using? I certainly tested the code on some cities in Europe and Asia, and it worked for me.

When I select Vienna, Austria, and ask for all eclipses visible from there, I get the list

2012-11-28 Penumbral
2013-04-25 Partial
2013-10-18 Penumbral
2015-09-28 Total
2016-09-16 Penumbral
[...]

Also, can you check if the file
/opt/maemo/usr/share/orrery/lunarEclipseCannon
exists on your phone? That's the eclipse database, and it should have a size of 470496 bytes.

Thanks for your help in tracking this problem down!
