Nuts and Bolts of Computing the Ephemeris. Part 3

Abstract

We have discussed some of the inputs necessary for calculating the Ephemeris such as, the date and time systems. Some of part one and two were sideline information that you may need to dress up the Ephemeris. Before gefting started on the primary equations for the Ephemeris let's discuss some pesky transform routines. To correct a previous problem with the year 2000 leap day, a new routine for Julian date is discussed.
