With the explosion of apps, I can fully understand why they are putting it to bed. Especially if they need to sell a minimum number to at least break even.

If you really want an ephemeris publication like that, it’s a simple matter to put your own together using online resources for your own location. For the past 7 years I have done one for myself, a few friends and past students in my nightscape workshops . Calculations are based on Canberra’s latitude and longitude, not multiple cities and I only cover topics I think are relevant to the limited audience. See attached table of contents.

I did my 2025 handbook last Saturday morning , it took about 3 hrs to calculate and do the layout. I was finished by lunchtime. I distribute mine in pdf format only which individual users can print and or bind at office works or similar.
