NavList:

Dear Antoine,

Thanks for your detailed lunar story. I really enjoyed reading it.

I see that Paul already published his results in NavList. But they are calculated from your given approximate position (solving for time). Therefore I will add some results from Paul's Lunar4.4 using your exact position 46° 41.2'N;  2°19,9W, because you published your results using this location.

1) 15.12.2025. Geocentric distance:

- Lunar4.4: 33°21,97'

- Antoine's program: 33°22,0'

Difference: 0,03'

2) 15.12.2025. Topocentric near limb apparent distance:

-Lunar 4.4: 32°33,26'

-Antoine's program: 32°33,18'

Difference: 0,08'

3) 16.12.2025. Geocentric distance:

- Lunar4.4: 23°9,41'

- Antoine's program: 23°9,4'

Difference: 0,01'

4) 16.12.2025. Topocentric near limb apparent distance:

-Lunar 4.4: 22°23,65'

-Antoine's program: 22°23,57'

Difference: 0,08'

5) Refraction for Mercury:

-15.12.2025.: 13,81'

-16.12.2025.: 14,17'

As you can see the differencies in results between Lunar4.4 and your calculations are smaller than 0,1'. I would say: perfect match under these extreme low Mercury altitudes conditions.

PS. Effect of center of light for Mercury is taken into consideration.
