You are lucky that you found two nice people answering you with good links. I strongly recommend you to read following links as well:
What have you tried?[^]
How to ask a question?[^]
Some guidelines for posting questions in the forums[^]

because next time you might not find the same users again.

Since this post has received two excellent answers, in order to make sure that other CP members are not discouraged from reading it ... and benefiting from those answers ... I have removed an edit to the title, and tags added, by another editor which express their view the question is not valuable.

Solution 1

Here is a really good reference[^] for the formula's and algorithms that you need.

BTW, you need to try to implement these on your own, we will help when you get stuck, but don't just ask for the code unless you are willing to pay.

this methods are on windows forms C#??. for example "trig" isn't exist in c#. i have a site for windows forms,thank you.

Thomas Daniels 11-Jan-14 10:37am

That problem has nothing to do with Windows Forms, the actual problem is that you need to create the Trig class also. Here you find all Astronomical calculation Tutorials, I think you'll find the Trig class there.

yes thank you very much. :)
