Software for Producing an Astro Calendar? W. Watson 01-01-2007

Is there any software that, in addition to holidays, produces info about at
least new/full moons? I'd like to produce a 12 page calendar for 2007 with
photos on the back side of each of the 12 months. I did a quick check of my
old Adobe Elements 2 and found that it at least has some calendar
capabilities, and allows the selection of holidays. It would be good to have
info like dates for meteor showers, and such.

Wayne, you might find the calendars here useful. Especially the custom
calendars...

Thanks. I'll take a look. I've barely used my Photoshop Album (Elements 2)
since I bought. I thought I'd take a shot at it. It's not bad, but, of
course, has no astro options. It does account for holidays, and allows one
to enter comments on any date. It also allows pix on dates. It could work
out. One problem. At this point, I set the holiday preferences, and added
some text to a few dates in January, but the finaly calendar shows none of
that. I guess this will give me something else do between commercial breaks
in the Rose Bowl game.

An oldie but goldie is Astronomy lab for Windows 1.14 (that's Windows
3.1!!). Here's one download site:

Pull down "Reports", "Calendar", and put in your dates. Cool things
are, it needs no installation routine, it's fast, simple, and once
it's unzipped (690kB), you can copy it around your folder structure
without worries about registry entries.
