I have looked through the archives but have been unable to find the way to calculate predicted inter-stellar, interplanetary, stellar/planetary/lunar/solar etc distances. If someone could point me in the right direction I would be grateful. I assume that one is simply solving a spherical triangle but when i try to sort it out I get confused. I'd also appreciate guidance on correcting for refraction and limb/HP/SD in this regard. I intend to try to write a SciLab script to do the calcs. Thanks Mike ____________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
