Ephemeris 1.0
Ephemeris is a program that lets you enter a date and a location and then computes the time and azimuth (compass bearing) or sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset. In addition, it displays a schematic more>>
It can also generate a table listing the positions of the sun and moon in the sky and the length of shadows cast by the sun at 15 minute intervals for a given day.
In Calendar mode, it can display the phases of the moon for any given month.
Finally there is Compass mode -- just point your pocket PC at the sun or moon and it tells you which way is north.
Astro Timer 1.0
This program is for Pocket PC (PPC) enabled PDAs it simply registers screen taps and records the time of the tap more>>
The time of each event is recorded on the screen and passed to the clipboard on exit, so can be pasted into any application.
AstroInfo 3.10R
AstroInfo is a useful program for PalmOS designed to provide you with an open-source and astronomical ephemeris/almanac more>>
AstroInfo 3.10R is a useful program for PalmOS designed to provide you with an open-source and astronomical ephemeris/almanac. It displays some basic information useful to star gazers, such as rise, trans and set times, coordinates, magnitude and phase information for Sun, Moon, the other 8 planets and stars.
Requirements: Palm OS 3.0 or higher
astrolib 1.03
The astrolib library calculates planetary positions and timezones. more>>
Positions of sun, moon and planets up to Pluto are calculated with an accuracy of the order of one arc minute for dates less than a century away from now. Calculations are based on approximation formulae by Paul Schlyter, which are in turn based on a preprint of a paper by T. van Flandern and K. Pulkkinen "Low precision formulae for planetary positions", Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 1980.
Information is retrieved about locations and time zones on earth, based on UNIX time zone data. The data contains information for over 350 locations world-wide and is even useful for dates centuries before UNIX machines existed. The same information is provided for about 2000 additional locations which have been assigned to UNIX time zone locations.
Currently, astrolib is implemented as a shared library for Palm OS 2.0 or later. It requires the MathLib library. Because the time zone data has been compressed quite a bit and the calculations do not require any external ephemeris data files, the library is only about 100K.
The astrolib source code is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License. As I understand the license, this means essentially that you can use astrolib from commercial and non-commercial software, but that you cannot make a commercial product out of a modified version of astrolib. Redistribution under the GNU LGPL is, of course, possible.
AI Astro Info 2.5.1
This is the latest release of our FREE open source astronomical ephemeris. more>>
AI (Astro Info) provides comprehensive data on objects in our solar system as well as catalogues of all types of interstellar objects.
This makes AI an invaluable tool for planning and observing with handy features such as showing objects currently above the horizon.
This release includes:
Improved colour graphics
Object details including rise/transit/set, phase, distance, magnitude and position in multiple coordinate systems
Graphically show phase of our moon and solar system planets using real images or drawings (see screen shot above)
Major overhaul of the user interface
Sky map with ability to zoom and change limiting magnitude
F-A-S-T and accurate maths using combination of virtual floating point library and Meeus calculations
Change viewing date and time from any form
Show time as julian date and sidereal time
Rise/set time for all planets in our solar system in one form
Only 78KB of memory without optional catalogues
Your choice of catalogues containing thousands of objects including:
Messier
Caldwell
Bennett
Yale
SAA 100 (best 100 non Messier objects from sci.astro.amateur newsgroup)
Revised NGC/IC catalogue - this is the most accurate version of this catalogue available! Coming in V3
Optional night mode (red) for colour devices

Easter by Sharma 1.0
This program calculates the day on which Easter falls for a specified year. more>>
The program uses an algorithm due to J.M.Oudin (1940), which calculates the Sunday on which Easter will fall according to the first ecclesiastical full moon on or after March 21.
This application, Easter, was inspired by a chance visit to the U.S. Naval Observatory, Astronomical Applications Department (http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/easter.html), when a group of friends were wondering when Easter break would be this year.
In the UK Easter break is a paid four-day long-weekend. But it is awkward to plan for because the date is not fixed. Maybe this program will help you get the best from Easter Break from now on.
