My defination of contact time is when the lunar mean limb touch the solar limb.

The following pic is for your reference...just a second different between images. The right hand image closer to contact time but yet...still slightly more to approach the contact point...

Can see that Bagan is indeed a nice place, and your shooting technique is really good.
