Check out www.starpath.com.  The site has information on doing
           lunars using the lunar altitude menthod and doing traditional lunars
           with out having to measure the altitude of the bodies.  All examples
           are worked with the StarPilot. At some point David Burch was/is/has
           going to post the Algorithm used by the StarPilot.  You might want
           to send Starpath a note if you dont find this on the web site.

           Cheers,
