Alcyone Astronomical Tables 2.0 is a collection of astronomical data in electronic form. It provides detailed information on various astronomical phenomena (conjunctions with the Sun, planetary conjunctions, oppositions, stations, greatest eleongations, lunar phases, equinoxes and solstices, passages of aphelia and perihelia, solar and lunar eclipses) covering the period 3000 BC (2000 BC) to AD 3000. Alcyone Astrononomical Tables offers additional functionality as printing, data export (Excel, HTML, ASCII, CSV), table sorting, and time range specification.The calculation (except eclipses) is based upon Steve Moshier's analytical ephemeris using trigonometric expansions for the earth and planets and the lunar ephemeris ELP2000-85 of Chapront-Touzé and Chapront for the moon, both adjusted to Jet Propulsion Laboratory's DE404 (see www.moshier.net).

All eclipse predictions were performed by Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus (NASA's GSFC).all data are pre-calculated and saved in a database, all calculations are very fast. Alcyone Astrononomical Tables can be used as a 'stand-alone program' and/or as an addition to
Alcyone Ephemeris.

Alcyone Astronomical Tables is shareware and runs under Windows ME/2000/XP/Vista.
