The output contains a coordinate string like:
ra=12:58:59.33 dec=-02:08:05.26 equinox=2017.572 epoch=2017.572 name=moon mode=topocentric phase=0.36 lunation=1170Where the first two fields are the RA and Dec, the next is the coordinate equinox (read from the system clock), the fourth is the name of the object, the fifth is the number of degrees that the moon is above the horizon and the last is the illumination of the moon, where 0.0 is new and 1.0 is full. The lunation is the Brown lunation which differs from the Meuss by 953.
The program can also calculate the Universal time at which the moon reaches a given altitude. In this mode of operation, the output will be a single field in hh:mm:ss format. No corrections for refraction are made.
The observatory longitude is determined from the telescope server.
rise=# calculates Universal time when the moon's altitude rises to # degrees above the horizon.
set=# calculates Universal time when the moon's altitude is # degrees above the horizon as it is setting.
geocentric - computes the geocentric apparent position rather than the topocentric value.
elev - correct the time of setting for
the effects of refraction, the fact that the moon has finite diameter and for
the elevation of the observatory (taken from tel_status
the telescope server).
