     Does anyone know of the existence of an Earth - Moon simulator that
would, if given a longitude-latitude point on the earth and a time, tell
me the azimuth and elevation readings to the center of the moon from
that point?
     Thanks,

Forgive me for posting this, but I seriously doubt if mailing to

Anyway, Proceedings of IEEE recently had a special issue on global
navigation systems.  One article spoke of a publication called "Almanac
for Computers," which gave ephemerides in series form for easy computation
by calculators and what not.  They also discussed the possible errors
in that and other computational models of ephemerides.
