- Hi,
-
- The program MOONBEAM determines the phase, position, and
- illumination of the moon. It will also plot the moon on a screen
- generated star chart using the Yale Observatory Bright Star
- database. To accomplish this the data base needed to be packed to
- fit on a single floppy along with the program, hence this disk
- should have three files on it.
-
- 1). This read.me file
- 2). moonbeam.com
- 3). star.rec
-
- The plotting routine will not work if star.rec is not present in
- the default drive. Also, the ploting routine requires the something
- that looks like an IBM Color Graphics Card. If you have a graphics
- printer, the star chart can be printed by issuing the MS/DOS
- graphics command before running moonbeam. Then use the PRT SC command
- when the star chart is on the crt. To start the program just type moonbeam.
-
- May clear skies be with you!
