I spent much of this morning working on calculations for the upcoming total lunar eclipse; I intend to get some spectacular photos but I need to calculate exactly where the moon will be in the sky from various locations. All rather tedious work.
I have managed to get the whole program free of syntax errors. That is a big step forward. Of course, it doesn't actually work -- what do you expect, overnight results? ;-)
As of now it appears to be logging the data properly, but I haven't carried out a proper investigation of the logging process. And it doesn't display any of the results yet. So my first task is to establish that the logging is in fact correct.
