Many of us have found Frank's "Lunars Calculator" an incredibly useful resource. Perhaps it's its format that makes it so helpful and easy to use. Nonetheless, some comments. There is a pull down menu that hints at offering an Apparent Time option as other of his programs have. Lately, I've been working through some examples from Moore, and this would have been helpful. (Possible to get eq of time from Frank's other programs by asking for sun's 0hr GHA for both GAT, and GMT.) Also, sometimes it would be nice to have lunar distance input between centers in addition to near or far options. (likewise input altitudes center vs upper or lower) I would use an option, if there was one, to include input data on the same page with the output calculated results. (Useful for printouts while "working things out".) Would be nice to give true and apparent altitude of moon and body on the results page. (Would reduce my add versus subtract errors.) Thanks again for the Calculator! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
