Abstract
An astronomical data indicating device is provided with a memory for storing location data representing a location on the earth. In the present device, before calculation of astronomical data such as hour angle data of moon and moon phase data, at first hour angle data and moon phase data for Greenwich Mean Time are calculated regardless of the place where the present device is used, and then hour angle data and moon phase data at the place where the present device is used are calculated. Therefore, the calculation process is performed in a very simple manner.
Claims19
A device for providing a forecasted catch size of a certain animal at a given time, comprising:
- location data means for providing location data representing a specified location on the earth;
- time data means for providing time data including time of day data and data data at said specified location;
- hour angle data calculation means for calculating hour angle data of the moon at the specified location based on said location data and said time data;
- moon data means for providing moon data based on said time data;
- means for converting said hour angle data and said moon data to an output signal corresponding to a forecasted catch size of the certain animal;
- and
- a display including a first indicating portion for said time data, and a second indicating portion having means responsive to said output signal of the converting means for providing a visual indication of the forecasted catch size corresponding to said time data.
