Does anyone know where to find it??? Incidentally, I have written a piece of code to locate the positions of the planets in equatorial coordinates to within a few minutes. I have questions about it: 1) Does anyone give a crap? 2) I used a method shown in a book called Practical Astronomy with Your Calculator by Peter-Duffet Smith. He only gives methods not code so if I post it is it a violation of Copyright Law????? I don't think it is but I'd like a confirming view or two. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ I__) _ _I _ _ Tim Strong I \ (_I (_I (_I I Michigan Tech.
