added.

Your feedback is welcome.
I would also be happy to hear from any
programmers interested in creating this
as an online utilty for <24h crescent data.

Excellent Stephen! As a crescent junkie, this sort of information is pure gold. Can't help with the programming - my knowledge is limited to the TV Guide - but hope someone can....

Cheers -

Lol. Thanks Rob.
I'll probably have the data for all 24 areas ready for next lunation.

An Extreme Lunar Crescent Calculator (ELLC) would allow the observer
to simply scrollbar to the desired lunation and select a city or lat/long to
produce this information. An altitude/horizon correction would be nice.

Your fellow crescent junkie,
Stephen
