# Astrolib
This is a relatively straightforward C port of Greg Miller's [JavaScript astro library](https://github.com/gmiller123456/astrogreg), done by Joey Castillo, for the Sensor Watch Astronomy watch face.
He released his work into the public domain and so I release this into the public domain as well.
I have tested the output of this library against [NASA's Horizons system](https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons/app.html#/) and found the results to match (within reason, as we're using a truncated version of VSOP87). Moon calculations still seem a bit iffy, but it doesn't surprise me seeing as there are three calculations involved and the error could stack up.
