[RT] GEN - Some pictures that help me with astro stuff

[Clyde Lee <clydelee@xxxxxxx>]

For those of you who, like me, must see a picture of
something to really understand it I recommend that
you go to the following URL

http://www.personalmicrocosms.com/zip/alw203.zip


and download and register their  Astronomy Lab
program.

I've attached a couple of pictures which should be of
interest.

The following is from the HELP file of the program.  These
type of pictures really help me understand what Norm and
others are saying.


Graphs Planet Orbit (Alt,G,O)

The Planet Orbit graph shows the right ascensions of a 
set of planets over one year.  Since constellation 
abbreviations are drawn on the right side of the graph, you 
can determine the constellation in which a planet will be on 
a given date.

The thick diagonal line extending from the bottom left to the 
top right represents the sun's right ascension.  When a planet's 
curve crosses this line, that planet is in conjunction with the 
sun.  The other two thick diagonal lines represents the sun's 
right ascension + 12 hours, thus a planet's curve will cross 
one of these lines when it is in opposition.

Dialog Box:

Year
Year for which the graph will be generated.

Planets
Allows you to select the planets that will appear in the graph.  
Select at least one planet.

OK
Quits the dialog box and generates the graph.

Cancel
Quits the dialog box.  The graph is not generated.
