Hoe het berekend wordt
Verduisteringen, maanopkomst en -ondergang en de fasen worden per plaats berekend uit de posities van zon en maan (theorieën VSOP87 en ELP, nauwkeurig tot ongeveer een boogminuut). Tijden zijn lokaal; de hoogte van zon of maan geldt boven de horizon van de plaats.
De meteoraantallen gaan uit van een donkere hemel: stadslicht en nevel verlagen ze sterk. Het verwachte aantal per uur houdt rekening met de hoogte van de radiant en het maanlicht op het beste uur van de nacht van het maximum.
