Does anybody have a program for producing the RA and DEC of the moon? 
I have the starchart porgram from the net of some time ago, so the
Kepler parameters should be enough for me to generate a program.  I
wish to add this to the starchart software and would like to hear from
the original author ( Alan Paeth, awpaeth@watcgl are you out there ??)
since I have made modifications to the programs that he might like to
hear about.  I am, at the moment trying to modify a satilite
prediction program to work with starchart.  Finally are any of the
catalogues (Messier or NGC for example) available in machine readable
form?, because, as useful as the starchart programs are, they only
show the positions of the planets, while I am interested in
photography of nebulae and galaxies.  I have access to the 12"
Newtonian Reflector in th Physics Dept.  here, and take, develop and
print my own colour photographs.  I am just starting in this field,
but already have promising pictures of the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and
the Ring Nebula M57.  When the Orion nebula system turns up as the
year moves around I hope to get pitcures of that.  Anybody interested??
