Has anyone done Sun and Moon calculations/display in either Coryphaeus'
EasyScene, Performer, or OpenGL. Our Application is based in EasyScene, but
has pure Performer callbacks and OpenGL callbacks, so I can handle this any
way is easiest.... What would be the best way of handling the relative size
of the lunar/solar discs? We have some infra-red cameras that don't
appreciate looking at the sun <grin> and I'd love to simulate tests and
verify no solar crossings during a mission.... We're running an Infinite
Reality with Performer 2.1....
