Astronomical Data

Select "Astronomical Data" from the Toolbar "Tables" button to display the following window of general astronomical information, and planet data.

This window contains the following general information:

• Julian date of event,
• local sidereal time,
• Ephemeris amendment (dT),
• Sidereal Ayanamsa (SA). This is the difference between tropical and sidereal Zodiacs, if a sidereal Zodiac has been selected in Chart Settings,
• Average angle of inclination of the equator of the Earth to ecliptic (Eo),
• Nutation of equatorial inclination (dE),
• Nutation of equatorial longitude (dF).

The specific astronomical data for the planets and other bodies:

• Ecliptical geocentric longitude,
• Ecliptical geocentric latitude,
• Equatorial right ascention,
• Declination,
• Hour angle,
• Horizontal azimuth,
• Altitude,
• Distance from the Earth (in kilometers for the Moon and Lilith; otherwise in astronomical units),
• Angular speed (ecliptical geocentric) in degrees per day,
• Maximal angular speed,
• Angular speed as a percentage of maximal,
• Angular diameter (apparent visible size),
• Inclination of the planet orbit to the ecliptic (i)
• Eccentricity of orbit (eks),
• Semimajor axis of orbit in a.u. (A),
• Ascending Node of orbit (O),
• Perihelion of orbit (P),
• Ecliptical heliocentrical longitude (l)
• Ecliptical heliocentrical latitude (b),
• Radius-vector planet - Sun in a.u. (R),
• Rectangular Ecliptical heliocentrical coordinates in a.u. (X, Y, Z).

Click with the right button in any field of the table for a menu of options for creating a text file from the data:

• Utilize "xxxx" for txt - sets the column of the table labelled "xxxx" for inclusion in the text file,
• Decimal format - sets the format of the data output to decimal fractions of a degree (rather than degrees, minutes, seconds),
• Save as ASTRO.TXT - saves the selected data to a text file of this name residing in the ZET\Wrk folder. A text editor application is then started automatically, and the file opened and displayed for editing,
• Save as ASTRO*.TXT - saves the selected data to a text file using a unique naming scheme, where * represents successive numeric increments,
• Save as... - opens a file Save As dialog,
• Copy... - copies the data to the Clipboard.
