0 , 36 0 : 0^\circ, 360^\circ: Full eclipsed with none;

18 0 : 180^\circ: Anti with -5.0;

6 0 , 30 0 : 60^\circ, 300^\circ: Gauche with -4.1;

12 0 , 24 0 : 120^\circ, 240^\circ: Eclipsed with -1.5;

Where -5.0 is not unstable, none would be least stable.

Answer: F u l l e c l i p s e d \boxed{Full~eclipsed}

Where those numbers came from?
