Where's the moon...
Does anyone here know where I can find an algorithm for
calculating the time and azimuth of moonrise? I don't want a program to do it. I want to write one, just for the hell of it. If I can't find the math, I'd settle for a program, or preferably some C or basic code. I want to make a plot of the azimuth over a period of a few months. Thanks in advance. |

Look at _Astronomical_Algorithms_ by Jean Meeus published by Willmann-Bell, Inc. It's an absolute gold mine of, well read the title again. Meeus has written several books that include algorithms and his work is the first I look at whenever I get the bug to write a computer program. Bye, -- LS Quimby |
