    conjunction finder

    I discovered that You have a "conjunction seeker" and I am interested in Your software in case it can provide me the following features:

    to find conjunctions also in the heliocentric coordinate-system (for instance we have a geocentric conjunction on April 15th, 2009, 10:00 UT, but heliocentrically seen it is on May 18th, 2009),

    to find the exact moment of the conjunction, say within the a minute of time (or when the angle is really zero),

    to export of the found data in a common format like "txt" or "csv" (for instance a list of all conjunctions Mars with Uranus within a specified period).

    While this is my main question - and will decide whether to buy Your software - please also allow the following secondary ones:

    Is it possible to make computations (including seek for conjunctions) also very far back in history, for instance to have a look into sky at 10 000 or even 20 000 years BC? While such a computation would be based on a "theoretical" Julian Calendar, how do You handle "normal" historical dates, like Columbus discovering the Americas: must the user enter the date in Gregorian, Julian or as JD?

    Thanks and best regards, Gerhard

    Dates are entered using the Gregorian calendar.
