Credits: Parts of AstroCC are based on XmTel, WCSTools, Nuvola icons, and ImageJ open source software packages. Solar system object coordinate calculations and internal HJD/BJD calculations are based on code adapted from JSkyCalc which was written by John Thorstensen of Dartmouth College. BJD values may also be retrieved from http://astroutils.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/time/utc2bjd.html which is based on Eastman et al. 2010. Coordinate data are obtained from SIMBAD. Leap second data is obtained from the U.S. Naval Observatory at http://maia.usno.navy.mil/ser7/tai-utc.dat. The observatory data were compiled from the ESO website at http://www.eso.org/~ndelmott/obs_sites.htm which credits the U.S. Naval Observatory and the H.M. Nautical Almanac Office. The lunar phase images are adapted from Lunar_libration_with_phase_Oct_2007.gif from Wikimedia Commons (submitted by Tom Ruen).
