- The program EPHEMERIS is a standalone RUNTIME package, written in
- HiSoft Basic. (You don't need HiSoft Basic to use it.)
-
- You may RUN it:
-
- from CLI by > run ephemer,
- or
- call it up from Workbench by double-cliking its icon.

- WHAT IS EPHEMERIS?
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- EPHEMERIS has been written "for those who, either for pactical purposes
- or simply because they enjoy making predictions, wish to calculate the
- positions and visual aspects of the major heavenly bodies". (So said Peter
- Duffet-Smith in his book "Practical Astronomy", Cambrodge University Press).
- Another sources are:
- - "Calcul Astronomique pour Amateur" by Serge Bouiges. Masson Edit.
- - "Ephemerides" by the Bureau des Longitudes.
-
- The program calculates the positions ofthe Sun, the Moon and the planets
- for any date and any place and give:
-
- - the Julian day number,
- - the day of the week,
- - the position in Equatorial coordinates,
- in Horizontal coordinates,
- in Ecliptic coordinates,
- - the orbits of the Sun and Planets with semi-major axis, eccentricity,
- eccentric and true anomaly, distance, angular size...,
- - rising and setting,
- - for the Sun, the energy estimated above the atmosphere,
- - for the Moon and the Planets their position in a zodiacal sky at the
- date and at three anterior periods for a decrement choosen.
-
- The rest of EPHEMERIS is prety much explanatory, so explore and have fun!
-
- ... and big pardon for my bad scholastic English...
