Always fine, I didn’t read your message as criticism, its a very valid point. I had thought exactly the same thing when I made these graphics and skycalpro.com I’m always glad to hear people’s views so I can improve the posts. If we can’t think of a better way between us then we’ll keep it as is 😊

My son made an awesome Lego design during his summer hols away from uni.
He said, “Lego doesn’t have a good enough underground train. Ill design one for them!”
He’s a maths student and also helps me code SkyCalPro search algorithms - ISS moon/sun crossings is one of his!

This looks very cool. I was thinking of making something like this myself. I think for SkyCalPro if use it to replace either the LROC link or the NASA svg lunar images that shows for the lunar features part. Do you think it could be integrated into that easily?

I'm doing really tedious deployment updates on skycalpro. each part I touch snowballs into a ton of other work that doesn't excite me at all!
The next release will improve the workflow on my side.
Then I will get back to the fun things on the list that I'm exited to get out there.

New moon in the old moons arms.
For thousands of years, spotting the first crescent would announce the beginning of a new month.
Wouldn't it be nice if life could be that simple. Farm. Sing. Dance. Eat. Drink. Look out for the new moon.
