Could you direct me toward some class modules (VBA or VB) to calculate the moon ( and planets ) rise set altitude azimuth for locations ( Lat, Lng, Elevation ).
Most I can find are about 1998 models using UDF 's on worksheets.
Need to graphically present these for high school students.
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Maybe something on one of those pages could meet your end goal.

NavPac and Compact Data

A snippet:
Additional astronomical data files are stored on the CD-RoM, which can be read into any personal computer. Astronomers, navigators, surveyors and general users will find these data files ideal for making astronomical calculations where positions of the Sun, Moon, planets and bright stars are required.

I downloaded and found an MS access database.
The site has am e-mail button, so you could try contacting the owner and explain what you want to do.

If you need programmer assistance I am willing to help.
