Improve Saturn visual magnitude calculation

Open cosinekitty opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

It would be nice to find authoritative values for Saturn's visual magnitude to use as test data. The following paper has formulas for Saturn (and the other planets), but no test data.

The source code here goes with the paper, and it might be possible to adapt it to create test data:
