Question
I would like to find a table or light freeware that gives the time and dates of the ascending node and descending node of the moon each month. I've searched google for two days and can't find anything. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hello,
Well, I checked my own programs first ('Cybersky' and 'Astronomy Lab') and could only find the times, etc. for lunar apsides given in the latter. I did some other digging and looking, but so far el zippo. I can only conclude that either: a) no one has created such a program yet (possibly because it may only have limited use); or b) it exists in some remote, obscure corner of the net and we haven't found it yet!
Anyway, I will keep looking. In the meantime I guess the only resort is to get hold of the Nautical Almanac published by the U.S. Naval Observatory.
