no picture available	The Sun API Description: A practical, highly accurate way to calculate key Solar values fo designing sundials; doing solar architecture design and for; annual almanac calculations; calculating ephemerides. The Sun API works equally conveniently for Visual Basic; DeltaCAD; Microsoft Excel Worksheets. All other compiled and interpreted computer languages that can call functions in .dll files. Freeware version available. Added on: 01-Oct-2004 hits: 837Report broken link \| Details
no picture available	PyEphem Description: PyEphem provides scientific-grade astronomical computations for the Python programming language. It can compute for arbitrary dates and locations the positions of the sun, moon, and planets, and any asteroids, comets, or earth satellites whose orbital elements are available. Additional functions can compute the angular separation between two objects in the sky, determine the constellation in which an object lies, and find the times at which an object rises, transits, and sets on a particular day.

no picture available	Astro Computing / Astro Utilities Description: Astro Utilities electronic book is a calculating tool for the practicing amateur astronomer that is familiar with basic concepts of the hobby and desires to do their own calculations, instead of relying on published estimates. As all the Functions and Methods worksheets are of a practical nature, no additional programming is needed. Added on: 03-Dec-2003 hits: 597 Rating: 7.0 (1 Vote)Report broken link \| Details
no picture available	Christophe David's Astronomical Algorithms Description: Astronomical Algorithms is a FREE portable ANSI C implementation of some of the algorithms published in «Astronomical Algorithms» by Jean Meeus. Documentation included. Added on: 08-Aug-2003 hits: 562Report broken link \| Details
no picture available	astroprogramming group Description: Do you like astronomy? Do you also like computer programming? If the answer is yes yes, then here is the group for you. ASTROPRO is a new group for all of you astroprogrammers out there. It will have source code, programs made by other people, tutorials, astrophotos and the sort. So, join now and become part of the group astroprogramming experts. Signed: jupiter3888 (Moderator) Added on: 02-June-2004 hits: 558Report broken link \| Details
no picture available	How to compute planetary positions Description: Description of how to compute the positions in the sky of the Sun, Moon and the major planets out to Neptune. Positions of other celestial bodies as well (i.e. comets and asteroids) can also be computed, if their orbital elements are available.

no picture available	Astronomical calculations Description: This site contains low precision formulas, algorithms and some code for calculating the equatorial, ecliptic and horizon coordinates and the rise, transit and set times of the Sun, Moon and the planets. You will also find some information on plotting star charts, horizon charts and planispheres; all based on the polar and equatorial stereographic projection.

no picture available	libAstronomy Description: libAstronomy tries to ease the use of astronomical functions in proper programs. Its goal is to make available many functions for computing positions of planets, moons of the planets and physical ephemerides, compute moon phases and constellation names.

no picture available	INDI - Instrument Neutral Distributed Interface Description: INDI is a simple XML-like communications protocol described for interactive and automated remote control of diverse instrumentation. INDI is intended for developers who seek a scalable and mature API for device control and automation. Hardware drivers written under INDI can be used under any INDI-compatible client. INDI serves as a backend only, you need frontend clients to control devices. Current clients include KStars and Xephem Added on: 06-Jan-2005 hits: 442Report broken link \| Details
