Author Topic: Software to generate Chapter 8 Planet Diagram ? BasilBibi posted December 08, 2023 12:37 AM                   Hi all, Does anyone know if/where I can access the software that generates the yearly planet diagram from the Alamanc? The one seen on the first page of Chapter 8 "Planet Sights" ids the one I'm after. Thanks in advance for any help... From: London UK David Burch posted December 08, 2023 01:02 PM                   I do not know where to find such software, but an annual version of something similar is in the free Annual Air Almanac. see sections A122 to A124. There is a table of contents in the PDF. Also have a look at their sky diagrams which are very powerful, if not actually the best, way to predict sights, short of custom software. See our article on this: https://davidburchnavigation.blogspot.com/2019/11/SkyDiagrams.html However, for over all views of the stars, a most powerful tool is the computer or device app Stellarium. We have a video on that at https://davidburchnavigation.blogspot.com/2019/11/SkyDiagrams.html see also this one on the Air Almanac in general https://davidburchnavigation.blogspot.com/2019/11/SkyDiagrams.html From: Starpath, Seattle, WA BasilBibi posted December 08, 2023 02:11 PM                   Thank you David I have a 2102-D and am currently studying your execellent Star Finder book. It's just that I found the Planet Diagram particularly useful as it compactly represents the entire year in one place. I guess I will have to buy a copy of the 2024 almanac to access it. I will digest the links you have sent with thanks. From: London UK
