Miscellaneous astronomical tokens allow you to calculate and display all the information available in theastronomical data exportmodule, and which does not specifically refer to theSun, theMoonor aplanet, individually.
Miscellaneous astronomical tokens are of the general form:
[ast:EventName:idxAspect:idxFormat]
By default,miscellaneous astronomical tokensare calculated for the 1stSun Data Sourceof the current script. If you want to have any planetary token calculated based on another source, just append:sYto the token, where Y is a number corresponding to the Nth Sun Source of the script (ie. append:s2to any planetary token to have it calculated based on the coordinates of the 2ndSun Data Sourceof the current script.
In cases where one or more of the indices is not applicable, leave its value blank.
List of Miscellaneous Astronomical Tokens
The miscellaneous astronomical tokens that are currently defined are as follows:
If you wish to display the result of any of tokens above in a format that differs from the default one, you can append the suffix:fSomeFormat, which is described in more details below.
Below is a table of the default formatting in which the above tokens are generated and at the bottom of this table you will find instruction on how to tweak that formatting to match your desired result.
sidereal time |
The sidereal time is displayed as hours-minutes-seconds. The default format is%2d"h"%2d"m"%2.0f"s"which shows hours, minutes, and seconds, rounded to the nearest second, such as18h23m58s, for example. |
To control the format in which the result of the miscellaneous astronomical tokens above are displayed, you can append the:fSomeFormatsuffix, using the format strings as describedhere.Important: the suffix:fSomeFormatmust be the very last modifier of the token, so that can contain text such as ":".
