Hi Dario,

They are, but not using JPL ephemerides. Nutations are computed using the IAU series.
The moon's orientation is computed using the COSPAR model for the moon's orientation.

Guide will do this. You can set it to use INPOP ephemerides in the same manner
as setting it to use any JPL ephemeris file, as described at

http://www.projectpluto.com/update8c.htm#jpl_de

One does have to use the "binary files compatible with the JPL DExxx ephemeris
file format"; Guide doesn't use the raw INPOP files.

(Note that if you're still running Guide 8, you will need current software to
make use of INPOP. INPOP ephemerides are _almost_ in the same format as JPL ones.
But they are aligned to noon rather than midnight. That required a small change,
made in March 2011.)

Already done. None of the DE versions has required changes to Guide. INPOP
wouldn't have, either, except that it hadn't occurred to me that there might be
ephemerides aligned to noon.
