Astronomical tables?

Howdy,
I was thinking I remember the SH4 sky being accurate for date, time, location.

Is this true and if so does anyone know a source for the data? The only things I turn up only go back a few years. I am particularly wanting moon data.

You can get accurate real-world data for almost any date using my spreadsheet, Frank Reed's USNO clone web app, or a program like Teacup Navigation. (All are free.)

However, I don't think the skies in SH4 are accurate. They certainly aren't in SH5. See this thread for more info.

Cheers!
