Try taking a look at altazsearch.cpp, I demo program I just added. It implements the idea of doing a two-part search. In the first part, it finds when the body passes closest to the center of your alt/az window. If the body is inside the window at that time, it steps forward and backward using a pair of binary searches to find when the body will enter and leave the window. It also handles the case where the azimuth range includes north. To represent this, specify I hope this helps you with your project! |

how to determine the date and time when the moon will appear and leave a certain area of the sky, which is behind two elevation (e1, e2) and two azimuths (a1, a2), you need to calculate all events within 27 days, there may also be a situation that the moon will never appear in the given area.
I will gladly buy coffee for your help.
a - azimuth
e - elevation
