I need the Right Ascension and Declination of the "points" where the
perpendiculars to the orbits of the Nine Planets meet the Celestial Sphere. Those would ideally be in numeric form in a reliable and accessible reference, or from another trustworthy source. I do have, from Heavens Above, their Longitudes of the Ascending Node and Inclinations, but I'd prefer not to have to work out exactly what they mean and what the necessary trigonometrical transformations are. An expression for that of our Moon would also be nice - IIRC, it has an 18.6-year period. Also the RA & Dec of its rotation - alas, it's too late to ask Hal Clement. -- (c) John Stockton, nr London, UK. Turnpike v6.05 MIME.
