FWIW, if you have any interest in this kind of stuff, you must read the classic book on the subject: http://www.amazon.com/Astronomical-Formulae-Calculators-Jean-Meeus/dp/094339 6220 This is not some textbook which takes graduate level physics to understand. It's a straight-forward primer for people who want to use calculators to compute phase of the moon and stuff like that. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
