It calculates positions of celestial bodies, times, risings and settings etc. and displays the results in table and/or graphic form, all nicely integrated in the Presentation Manager. Because of the modular architecture of the whole, more may be added easily and surely will be in the future. I have been developing and using the different program modules for years already, but only now I decided to create a version for the public, with documentation, language support (german and english) etc. However, the whole thing is still "work in progress" and always will be probably, but those interested in astronomy are invited to visit my homepage, download the zipped archives and use them freely for private or scientific purposes: http://www.datacomm.ch/cobo You probably need a minimum background knowledge of astronomical terms and concepts if you want to make use of the whole package, but you might be interested to just use the graphics program which is specialized for the display of spherical data, together with the world map data set I included as an optional extension. (This is already provided anticipating the eclipse and occultation program(s) which are on the to-do list...). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
