Thank you for the tip about solrad. I don't need it right now, but I shall certainly have a use for it soon. On Wed, 31 Jan 2024 at 02:42, Kevin Thorpe wrote: > > There is also the package solrad that might do some of this. It is more > intended for calculating solar radiation, which is probabl

Given - UTC timestamp - a location (latitude,longitude,elevation) I want to know - the sun angles - the moon angles - the phase of the moon. I looked on CRAN for astronomy, but didn't notice anything that seems to offer what I want. I could try coding these functions myself, but "if you didn'
