Ephemerides

Is there a way to get this for the moon? Trying to get the following data: rise/set ~approx. as it depends on lat/lon. We already have phases.
We're trying to work out a process to define a "clear night" as an alert on CFN. So this will depend on the following factors:
  • Surface wind and Jetstream. (Seeing)
  • Humidity, Precipitable Water and Temperature. (Transparency)
  • Phase of the moon (Stray light and sky darkness)
  • Cloud Coverage (Obviously)
  • Fog (Early morning hours)

Any hep would be appreciated. Text file, CSV file or any tabular format that can be fed into a database will work. Thanks.
