Excel spreadsheet "upper culmination" of object?

[TSS_ASTRO]

Hi All,
I'm wondering if someone has already done the work of creating an Excel sheet that calculates the "upper culmination" ALT/AZ position of an object in the night sky - given one's geo-location and date-time?

Thanks in advance

STARALT is one of several online calculators from the pros at ING in the Canary Islands. This tool or one of the others may work for your purposes. By way of example, here's the output for 7 targets that I entered.

There's a very excellent Android app called Whereisit that will tell you the alt az coordinates of a hugh database of objects based on time, date, location etc. Or you can enter the Ra and Dec to convert to Alt Az.

When I had a Dobsonian telescope I used it all the time.

Hope that helps.

Regards

Graeme
