Description
A number of our observatories, include space missions like WISE, record characteristics about the moon. IRTF has the most complete information
-
LUN_FLI: Fraction Lunar Illumination (FLI) is the percent of the Moon's visible disk illuminated by the sun. Range is 0.0 to 100.0.
-
LUN_LIGHT = The lunar light level based on the lunar elevation (EL), and Fraction Lunar Illumination (FLI) values from JPH Horizon. Values are:
- dark = 0% <= FLI <25.0%, or Moon Elevation < 0 degrees.
- gray = 25% <= FLI < 75.0% with Moon Elevation > 0 degrees.
- bright = 75.0 <= FLI, and Moon Elevation > 0 degrees.
-
LUN_SEP = The lunar separation in degrees of RA,DEC – moon.
-
LUN_EL = The lunar position's Elevation in degrees, +90.0 to -90.0
-
LUN_AZ = The lunar position's Azimuth in degrees. 0-360. 0=North, 90=east.
This seems common enough, especially for ground based observatories, such that at least some of these keywords should be supported.
