Listing the azimuth of the rising Sun/Moon

B. Hudgens Jul 2, 2003

Hello Philippe,

I had need for the same azimuth information several years ago. There is an old DOS program called TONITE.EXE by Leonard Abbey. It only outputs to the screen or the printer and offers a 'short' or 'long' version in the printout. You can get info that you need on a daily basis or for any number of days.

I run it once a year and printout rise/set times and azimuth for the sun and the moon along with twilight times. This gives me a quick and easy reference to the needed information. The version I currently use is 3.7 Perhaps there is a newer version. If someone else is familiar with this program and has more current information about it ( such as a Windows version), pls post or email me in private.

Phillipe, if you would like a copy of this old DOS program, email me and I can zip it, actually pretty small by today's file sizes. Would be glad to send you a copy.

Hi Bill and all,

I wondered if there's a way to make a listing of the azimuth of the
rising/setting Sun, Moon or even the planets, let's say for every day of the
year.
I mean: I like to make nice images of a rising or setting Moon or Sun next
to a remarkable landmark, such as a church or some kind of monument.
Of course, I could just go driving till I find the correct location, but
then it could be just a little too late.
And besides: I'm quite lazy, so I prefer just stepping outside the house,
make the image of the rising sun, and go back sleeping ;-)
