Hi, can anyone recommend a free moon phase software program? I know this site has one, but I'm keen to be able to look further ahead than the current lunar cycle.

Cheers, Paul.

Thanks for the welcome and recommendation Nettie. I've downloaded and installed the program - it's a massive and full featured program (with lots of terms that I can't even begin to understand!:)). I was more after a program that puts up a display similar to the one on this site that puts the phases on the month - I'm so new to all this I'm still learning about waxing and gibbous!

Cheers, Paul.

If you are after just the phase diagrams for each day of the month and not worried about rise and set times, try this site ...
