Moon Phase II
by Mark
Displays a fairly accurate representation of the Moon on your desktop. It also displays two pages of information about the Moon, it's current position, phase, age, distance etc.
The phase displayed is accurate, as is the angle of the cusps, and the Moons axis, the Widget now even shows librations of the disk - though you may have to look closely!

May 28, 2009 · version 1.2Very Nice
Adam XVIMoon phase II... SIMPLY THE BEST in moon watcher!!
To put the longitude, you just have to give the first and de second number of the value ( just ° and ').
Very simple to use and effective, it's already one of my favourites!

Can't specify lat/longitude
PaulI put in my longitude 51°43'20"N, 0°29'34"E, but app. just won't have it. It keeps coming up with an incomprehensible error message. "The value you entered for your longitude is invalid. Formats: ddd.dd [etc etc,]."
1) I don't see what's invalid with the format I've used in the first place.
2) I can't get not one of these alternative formats to work either.
Hmmph.
