This program was originally written in Fortran, using SuperMongo for the graphics (SM, by Robert Lupton and Patricia Monger, http://www.astro.princeton.edu/~rhl/sm/). It has been re-written from scratch using Python and matplotlib, resulting in (even) nicer graphics and much lighter code...

The observatory and city list comes mostly from that included in XEphem, the great interactive astronomical ephemeris program for X-Windows, http://www.ClearSkyInstitute.com/xephem ecdowney@ClearSkyInstitute.com, with personal additions and deletions. Any errors in the current list is mine.

Several subroutines come from "Astronomical Formulae for Calculators" by Jean Meeus. Richmond, Va., U.S.A., Willmann-Bell, (c) 1982.
