Hi Bernd,
I get the mechanics, just not how to make the calcs :scratch:
Ta in advance, you're not getting away that easy.......you started it by giving us ideas with bits of shiny stuff :lol:

Are you sure you want to know? I involves trig functions. :smart:
Come to think of it I don't even remember how to do the calcs now. :med: It's been a while.
I cheated by using the cad program to figure the positions. :)

Darren:
Oh ok Bernd, I'll let you off, I learnt trigs and stuff once, I have no desire to do it again :lol:
CAD sounds good.....I'll ask John when I see him next. I ask cos I can see me wanting to do this in the not too near future.
I could prob work it out in CAD, but knowing me I'd do it the hard way, :bang:
bogstandard:
Don't ask me to explain it, all I do is get my Zeus book out and that gives me the formulae to work to. I suppose there are people that can keep such stuff in their head, I am not one of them, thank goodness.
In fact you don't have to go that basic any more, I posted a couple of calculators early on about this project, in the other post,

that will do it all for you, very little brainpower required.

Just downloaded that pictcircle calculator. Going to give it a try.
Thanks for the link John.
