>> AstroCalc v3 Released !!!

[Guillaume BERTRAND]

Hi all,
after several months of work, AstroCalc v3 is finally available and always free…

Main new features :

* Satellites of Mars and Saturn
* Calculation of lunar libration
* Position Angle of Mercury and Venus
* Possibility of changing the texture of planets
* Possibility of creating videos *.avi of animation of planets
* New display of the planets in heliocentric position
* Best accuracy for the hours of rise/transit/set
* Some bugs fixed etc...

Cool,
superb bit of software.

BTW I have highlighted a few minor spelling mistakes on your webpage.

AstroCalc enables you to :
- Calculate the position of planets and give their appearance.
- Calculate hours of Rising/Transit/Setting
- Visualise the apparent diameter of planets ones compared to the others…
- Visualise the position of planets on the ecliptic.
- Visualise planets in heliocentric position.
- Positions of the satellites around Jupiter, as seen from Earth.
- Calculate the position of comets...
- Download the appearance of the sun directly on web ( SoHo ).
- And many other possibilities.....

The calculations are based on algorithms from Jean MEEUS
("Calculs Astronomiques à l'usage des amateurs") as well as personal adaptations for special events.
The accuracy is of course limited, however this accuracy is sufficient for every amateur astronomer.
Compatible with Win 98/ME/NT/2000/XP
(3.6mb, zip)

CroTool makes it possible to record, to manage Report of Astronomical observation (CROA)…
-Crotool is equipped with many fields (59) which you can fill to compile all your information of observations
-Additional fields make it possible for the astrophotographer to record their parameters, whether it is with a webcam, CCD, or a Numerical Camera.
