Harmonic go to 0*00' Cancer... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi All, If you haven't already read it, it's helpful to look at a short refresher on the nodes: http://users.snowcrest.net/sunrise/amoon-nodes.htm In the Betz Ephemeris the authors Martha and Keith Betz point out that neither the Mean nor True node is really accurate. The Betz Ephemeris has a third node position that is an interpolation. I personally have found the Mean nodes to have the most hits. I'll try to post examples this weekend. From the Betz Ephemeris (page 3): " The truth is the position of the node is really known only when the moon is on the ecliptic plane which happens twice every revolution of the moon around the earth. The position of the moon's node at other times is arguable but it seems to us its motion should be as smooth as possible while assuring that the values for its position exactly conform to the position of the moon when it passes throught he ecliptic.
