class lib.orb.Orb(orb, lon, lat, elev=False)

Bases: object

midnight(doff=0, moff=0, dt=None)

noon(doff=0, moff=0, dt=None)

pos(offset=None, degree=False, dt=None)

Calculates the position of either sun or moon :param offset: given in minutesA, shifts the time of calculation by some minutes back or forth :param degree: if True: return the position of either sun or moon from the observer as degrees, otherwise as radians :param dt: time for which the position needs to be calculated :return: a tuple with azimuth and elevation

rise(doff=0, moff=0, center=True, dt=None)

Computes the rise of either sun or moon :param doff: degrees offset for the observers horizon :param moff: minutes offset from time of rise (either before or after) :param center: if True then the centerpoint of either sun or moon will be considered to make the transit otherwise the upper limb will be considered :param dt: start time for the search for a rise, if not given the current time will be used :return:

set(doff=0, moff=0, center=True, dt=None)

Computes the setting of either sun or moon :param doff: degrees offset for the observers horizon :param moff: minutes offset from time of setting (either before or after) :param center: if True then the centerpoint of either sun or moon will be considered to make the transit otherwise the upper limb will be considered :param dt: start time for the search for a setting, if not given the current time will be used :return:
