Hello Paul,

Thanks for your last reply.

Yes, I had forgotten that you compute all your coordinates according to the latest IAU precepts, which is great since you so nicely helped me shifting to Stars apparent positions computations according to these new precepts : GCRS, ICRS and all ...

As regards our current Moon Parallax Example, I will therefore be happy that, as you said : " it is sufficient that our intercepts are practically the same ".

You also requested: " Did anyone answer your request for the oblateness correction formula in the Nautical Almanac? "

Yes, Peter Hakel did very kindly so under the following post:

Thanks again Peter :-) !

I now need to work out the "formula" and then compare with my 3D space results.

Thanks also again for everything, Paul

and let us soon have lots of fun with your upcoming Lunar Program.

Best Friendly Regards

Antoine M. "Kermit" Couëtte
