Mommamia: You are fine. The majority of Poskim say 72 fixed minutes, (which means 72 minutes before sunrise no matter where you are or what time of year), so you were fine at 6:08. And the discrepancy during the summer in some places can be over an hour earlier if you go by degrees. It’s a huge difference for 17 B’Tammuz. I really, really don’t like that that site tries to pass off the degrees as the main Shittah.
