"" PlanetDroid - Test Version PlanetDroid - Enter Date PlanetDroid - Enter Location Computes planetary ephemeris. Astronomy "http://www.strickling.net/android_en.htm#PlanetDroid" "\nwww.strickling.net/android_en.htm\n \nThis app computes high precision positions of mean equinox of the day (without nutation) with correction of topocentric aberration, light time and DeltaT. It uses reduced VSOP87 terms, the precision is in the range of some arc seconds. Pluto\'s position may have an error of several arc minutes, as Pluto is not described in VSOP. \nElongations are true angular distances, not difference in ecliptic longitude.\n \nPlanetdroid offers an augmented reality mode, where the celestial bodies, a compass scale and the ecliptic are drawn onto an image of phone\'s camera in realtime. For good accuracy it is very important to calibrate your compass carefully by turning the phone by 360 degrees around each axis (vertical axis, pitch axis and roll axis). Avoid staying near buildings or cars, as this will disturb the compass!\n \nThanks to Mark Huss for his AstroLib containing the VSOP-routines and to the translators " Berlin, Germany 52.5 13.4 Date Info and small help Location Copy Text Night Mode Day Mode "Visit Homepage" Real Time Calculation Calculation Update Time [s]: Select an Object JD: %.5f, \t\tDeltaT: \t%.1fs\n GPS-Position Network-Pos.
