Re: [Utah-astronomy] Moon position question
Free planetarium software: I would recommend Stellarium. It is free and comes in 3 flavors (Windows, Mac, Linux). http://www.stellarium.org/ Clear skies!Bruce Hugo I gather a modern planetarium program will do the job, but I see that it would be used in an iterative manner as I suspected the calculations might be. There are probably many, but could you suggest an affordable one that is easy to learn and use? A free one would be nice as a learning tool even if it didn't have a lot of extra features. Thanks for your help and humorous mention of calculation accuracy as interpreted in the courts of the 1600's. Ed
Joel and Bruce, Thank you gentlemen. I guess Stellarium it is then since you agree on the recommendation. Now for the learning curve on my PC ... And, Joel, I don't have an Android device, so I'm okay on that issue. Thanks again for your help, Ed ------------------------------ Quoting Bruce Hugo via Utah-Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com>:

It's free. http://www.stellarium.org/ If you are using an iPhone/iPad Sky Safari is the best program and has different versions with different amounts of star detail but any would show moon coordinates. $5-$30. If you use Android probably best to just buy a new device *ducks*.
For those that are unfortunate enough to have an android, Skeye is pretty good. Thanks, Dave
