LunarPhase Upgrade from LunarPhase Freeware Description

LunarPhase is a utility for Win 95/98/NT which provides a range of information on the Moon and, to a lesser degree, the Sun, graphically displaying the current phase of the moon (in real time). It uses the user's geographic location, Timezone and Daylight Savings Time (set on the Configuration screen) for its calculations, so these must be set up correctly. All times displayed (and printed) are in local time. LunarPhase Main Features: Moon Graphically displays the current phase of the moon in real time Displays the times and dates of the major lunar phases for the month Displays the illuminated fraction of the lunar disk as a percentage in real time Displays the current age of the moon (since the last New Moon) and its distance from Earth in real time Provides realtime position of the moon in both RA/Dec and Alt/Az coordinates Provides the moon's parallax and its visible diameter (in arcminutes) in real time Displays a calendar of lunar phases for each day in the selected month Displays a Lunar Visiblility diagram for the month showing when the moon is above the horizon Displays a Daily View diagram for the moon showing when the moon is above the horizon and hourly Azimuth and Altitude figures Calculates the times and dates of the next Apogee and Perigee Calculates the Position Angle of the moon's bright limb in real time Calculates the moon's Phase Angle in real time Calculates and displays Moon's Rise, Set and Transit times Calculates the circumstances of lunar eclipses and whether they're visible from your location Calculates the dates of lunar eclipses between two given years Displays the names of Full Moons throughout the year, including Blue Moons Set the time and date to that of a major lunar phase (New Moon, First Quarter, etc.) by clicking on the phase icon or phase data and time Set the time and date to that of an eclipse by clicking on the eclipse date in the eclipse details window Blue moons are indicated by a blue full-moon icon in the major phases window. Displays lunar librations in latitude and longitude corrected for your location (Topocentric) Displays Selenographic CoLongitide and Position Angle of the moon's Axis Displays a list of sunrise and sunset times at various lunar features (both near-side and far-side) for the month Provides a database of lunar features which is used in the calculation of sunrise and sunset at those lunar features. 1961 lunar features are provided with the software Sun Provides realtime position of the Sun in Alt/Az and RA/Dec corordinates in real time Calculates and displays Sun's Rise, Set and Transit times Shows the (compass) positions of the rising and setting sun for your location Twilight Calculates and displays Start and End times for Civil, Nautical and Astronomical Twilight Printouts Calendar printout for the selected month which includes for each day: the lunar phase (graphically), lunar rise/set/transit times, solar rise/set/transit times and the times and dates of the major lunar phases in the month. The user selects which of these appears on the printout. Tabular printout of all lunar, solar and twilight data. Printout of Lunar Visibility diagram. Printout of Daily View diagram and data. Other Features: Data for any date can be generated using inbuilt calendar Selection of any time during the day, including reset to current time and date Can synchonise your PC's clock with an online atomic clock View moon as seen through binoculars, an astronomical telescope or a telescope that uses a diagonal Day order on calendar can be changed Tabular function provides a list of lunar rise/set/transit times, moon's illuminated fraction, solar rise/set/transit times and Start/End times for Civil, Nautical and Astronomical Twilight for the selected month on one comprehensive screen Displays Local Sidereal Time Provides links to online lunar websites Popup window displays Day Number, Week Number (and Day No./Week No. in ISO format), Julian Day and number of days until Christmas A new toolbar item pops up a window with the times and dates of the Equinoxes and Solstices of the the selected year, and their durations. Displays the date of Easter Sunday for the selected year.
