A New Tool

There is a small update in the Tools. I’ve added a new tool. This new tool can find a point of the ecliptic from its right ascension, oblique ascension, and oblique descension.

I thank rabbi Avraham Ibn Ezra for the inspiration :) Checking his method of cusps calculations, I felt a necessity of this tool.
Though, it is a usual thing in old-fashioned calculations in various house systems, actually. Regiomontanus has the same searching for the ecliptical point from its oblique ascension.

Tools Upgrade

There is a considerable upgrade in Tools.

Hour Distance Calculator is updated. The new version can produce not only a hour distance, but temporal hours and semi-arcs as well.

Old and good Oblique And Right Ascensions Table Generator is online again, and it is updated as well. Now it produces not only right and oblique ascensions, but oblique descensions as well.

Two new tools are added:
The Converter Of Coordinates can convert equatorial coordinates into ecliptical and vice versa.
Ascensions And Descensions Calculator can calculate right ascension, oblique ascension, and oblique descension of a point of the celestial sphere from its ecliptical coordinates, and oblique ascension and descension of a point from its equatorial coordinates.

I hope you will find these new tools useful, and they help you in your hard astrological life ;)
