[guide-user] More Prediction function
Masaki Kouda Dec 12, 1999
Hello.
I downloaded and used latest Guide. I love new redraw function.
Bill gave us very usefully function, not only satellite.
This function gave me expection that Guide grow to make
Occultation Prediction.
Astronomica software 'DANCE of the Planets' can make
many kind of tables. For prediction, Dance can make:
Solar Eclipse
Lunar Eclipse
Occultations 1 : Moon on Star
Occultations 2 : Moon on Planet
Occultations 3 : Planet on Star
Occultations 4 : Planet on Planet
Each Occultation Predict menu needs :
Maximun Magnitude(Dimmest) for 1, 3
Minutes Separation (0=Occultation, >0=Conjunction) for 1, 2, 3, 4
Occulting Planet for 3, 4
Begin Date & End Date for 1, 2, 3, 4
Push f-9 key on selected line of Predicted tables, Dance set
date & time to its line (time is little befor) and center its object.
This function is very-very useful.
But Dance is old software (last updated was in 1993n DOS only).
So I hope Guide succeeds these these function.
