Description:
Astro Info is an open-source astronomical ephemeris/almanac for PalmOS. It displays some basic information useful to star gazers, such as Sun Rise and Set, Moon Rise & Set and % Full, and the rising and setting of each of the 8 planets. (Yes, eight. You didn't expect me to include the Earth, did you?) The Catalog page is new to Astro Info 2.0. This page displays a list of astronomical objects, such as the Messier List or the Caldwell Catalog. Clicking on the name of an object will pop-up a dialog box showing the object's magnitude, size, rise and set times and it's current position in both equatorial and alt/az coordinates.
Update Description:
This version has a dramatic improvement for the moon rise/moon set calculations. In addition, when looking at the planetary information panel, planets which are currently "up" are displayed in bold.
