Lee,
I recently bought a HP49G and a copy of Meeus Astronomical Algorithms. I
have been busy doing some initial programming.
I have got almanac sorted out for sun positions and moon positions.
I'm finding it quite a good way to learn my way around the HP programming
language.
Progress is quite slow as I have too many other things to do, but I'm happy
to share my experiences with you.
Aubrey.
