    Re: Paul Jackson's Luna data

    Paul, indeed your  calculated altitudes, (Alt moon 20º 33.9 Alt Jupiter 22º 02.6), are wrong.

    The time 18:15:52 is ZT or GMT????. Change of date???

    Here are my calculations:

    18:15:52 UT1

    Geocentric equatorial coordinates

    Moon:

    GHA = 144.886638 º = 144º 53.2'

    Dec = 3.864253 º =   3º 51.9'
