vsop87 files location

Post #1by kdona » 01.09.2009, 08:59

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I would like to find vsop87 files in celestia directory. When the program load for example the solarsys.ssc file, to computes earth position executes the line:

CustomOrbit "vsop87-earth"

where is the file containing vsop87 information for earth?

Thanks

The vsop calculations do not use external data files.
They're implemented by routines compiled into Celestia.
Celestia's vsop87 soucecode is available at
