Moon rise and moon set timings when we have longitude and latitude

[kk250040]

Hi

I am a C++ developer. Did someone try to calculate the moonrise and moonset timings for a given latitude, longitude position for a particular date or current date.

Could not find the algorithms or procedure with formulae for this… I already did the sunrise and sunset stuff through some algorithms found in internet, but could not find any clues for moon stuff.

Problem: We have the latitude and longitude of the location and the date and time info… All we need to get is the timings for moon rise / set for that day in that location… (pls do not write the sunrise and sunset stuff).

I could find a few Java scripts but they are not helpful for me, too much unnecessary stuff inside and confusing, the main logic is messed up in the huge scripts and I could not understand the final logic… Project manager donot want to use the webservice for this :( ...

So any help on this is highly appreciated…

Thank you,

It's not as straight forward as the sun calculations... Read here -- there's some good ideas.
