Eric: I was able to access the API docs (requiring, with my Firefox, to accept a security exception.) https://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/api.php I have to move on. I have found that XEphem's Moon declination output is excellent, so I only have to convert the time format. Thank you for your hel

Hello, Eric: Since I don't need to automate anything or directly pipe the data into any other processes, I have taken a leap of faith and used the JPL Horizons Ephemeris Web interface to generate an ephemeris for the Moon's (they say "Luna"---nice!) declination. This I can edit wtih Emacs to get

Eric: This is extremely useful. I found some documentation on the site, re the API. I am way over my head here, but I need (for one) data on Lunar Declination over, say, a year, but really month-by-month. Is there a "for Dummies" to get this data off of this server? A cookbook? Can I do some

[O] Solar orbit statistics and your agenda

2018-11-07 Thread Eric S Fraga
Time for a very geeky post... Recently, on the remind (diary tool I used to use) mailing list, somebody posted a script for converting solar data (perihelion, equinox, ...) to remind input. I've done the same for org so if you're interested in that kind of information and want your agenda to show
