Very Cool Sun & Moon calculator

Now that I'm a night photography "Newbie" I have to assemble some new tools to properly research when and where I am going to shoot. A new dimension that doesn't exist in day photography is the moon.
  • What time does it rise?
  • Which direction will it be in?
  • What altitude will it be?
  • What phase will it be (crescent, half, full etc.)
I'm sure that the moon will dramatically impact the quality of my night shots. I have come across a pretty cool calculator for both sun and moon. Check out Jeff Conrad's Sun and Moon calculator.

Now Jeff is obviously a minimilast judging by the user interface in his web page, but his calculator rocks!!! It's not the most inuitive interface, but read the tutorial and you'll quickly get the hang of it.

My favorite feature.... I love the way I can dial in a set of conditions and it will show me the dates and times that these conditions exist. For example I can say to the calculator "Show me all dates and times in the next 3 months where a crescent moon will be between 30 degrees and 40 degrees high in the East 1 hour after sunset." Like magic, if those conditions are possible, the dates and times will be listed.

In my book... thats a very handy and very cool calculator. Thanks Jeff Conrad.

I'm the sort of guy who loves to taste brand-new things. Currently I am constructing my personal photovoltaic panels. I am managing it all alone without the assistance of my staff. I'm using the internet as the only way to acheive this. I came across a really awesome website which explains how to create photovoltaic panels and wind generators. The internet site explains all the steps involved in solar panel construction.

I'm not exactly sure about how accurate the data given there iz. If some experts over here who have xp with these things can have a peak and give your feedback in the page it would be great and I'd extremely treasure it, cauze I truly love [URL=http://solar-panel-construction.com]solar panel construction[/URL].

Thanks for reading this. U guys are great.
