moon tables

The lunar eclipse of August 27–28, 2026 was awe inspiring for me. The moon changed colors, it jumped about the sky. the weather cooperated with a clear night sky. and I was able to conveniently view it with binoculars in my back yard. I went to my free software orbtimes and went about calculating the event. I have updated it to compute moon tables.

Solar eclipses must occur during new moons. Lunar eclipses during full moons. These calculations are my own. There is no warranty as to accuracy. If you find an error, please let me know!
