    Re: Celestial Navigation Data from USNO--alternative

    Hello:

    For past several months I have not been following the discussions. But the title " USNO - alternative"  caught my eye.

    A short while ago I tried to use the USNO web site to do some planet observations.  The celestial navigation "data" portion of the site does not seem to exist anymore. I vaguely recollect Frank writing this has something to do with conflicts with commercial interests.  I just don't remember.

    Maybe this should be a new topic, but what is the latest update on the USNO site? Furthermore,what website can I use to input  latitude, longitude, and time to get data for  locally visible  celestial bodies  (altitude & azimuth)?

    Thank you and best regards to all. Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating, and everyone have a happy day.

    Bruce

    re / Ritchie-nov-2019-g4624

    Nice comparison indeed !

    Which TT-UT (DeltaT) are each of these authors using ?

    For the Moon, it seems worth knowing DeltaT in order to perform fully meaningful comparisons.

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
