As I said in the original post, I have seen Windows PC almanacs such as the Starpath almanac, but I had not seen a Macintosh almanac. The US Naval Observatory puts out an ephemeris for both Windows and Macintosh that is similar to the Astronomical almanac, but it gives right ascension, not the Greenwich Hour Angle. I also have a program called Voyager by Carina software, but again it only gives RA, and only to the minute. It's really just for finding the object with a telescope, not for precise navigation. All that said, I was mainly wondering if anyone uses any alternate paper almanacs beside the nautical almanac.
