Yes, it would seem so. BTW, the book comes with a pretty good Celestial nav
program on the disk, and all the tables and formulae you need to create your
own almanac are also on the disk for those of us who want to program this
themselves, along with explanations and hints in the book for programmers.

Rino,
Yes, I have looked at this but got to wondering what happens on January 1,
2006? Buy another package?

| Loath as SOME users of this list are to introducing computers into
celestial
| navigation, I would like to find someone that has used the "JPL Planetary
| and Lunar Ephemerides" data to actually produce a computer almanac. I
would
| like to do so but am not sure how to proceed. I am NOT interested in
getting
| the data via the many excellent Web based systems as accessing the web is
| NOT practical while at sea.
|
| Any enlightenment will be appreciated.
|
| TIA
