Hello Greg,

Thanks for your help! I subscribed to the XEphem mailing list a few weeks ago, and it seems the project
is still supported by an active community, even after the death of its author.

They released 4.3.0 version with last improvements from the author:

https://github.com/XEphem/XEphem

The mailing list:

https://groups.io/g/xephem

I'm willing to run any tests if necessary.

Thanks so much.
Ramiro.
