"Wonderfully simple and exactly what I was looking for!"
- Michael Uptergrove |
Dear Friend,
f you want to view past or upcoming moon phases and you want to do it without complicated programs, technical jargon, or slow, tedious Internet research, you'll love this software!
Here's why...
In the past, finding the phases of the moon was either inconvenient, or time-consuming, or hard to understand ... or all three. Now with this software, you can have moon phase data at your fingertips, always available on your desktop, with fast, immediate calculations. I call the software "QuickPhase Pro".
When I started looking for moon phase data, I immediately jumped on the Internet looking for free info. Sure enough, I found a few sources, BUT with a big problem: I always had to have an Internet connection so it was slow and inconvenient, and cumbersome to wade through all the data to get what I wanted.
... none of what I found was a real solution for viewing moon phases.
So I started looking for moon phase software with calendar features, but couldn't find a direct, simple, inexpensive solution anywhere. Most programs were big, expensive
products, packed with astronomy technical terms and features for stars and planets and comets and you-name-it. And not surprisingly, hard to use. Sort of like using a sledgehammer to drive a nail.
Did you know that
the moon's motion is harder to calculate than the earth, sun, or any of the planets?
It's true. Our friendly moon follows a complex path as it circles the earth. Why? Because unlike
the planets, the moon's motion is influenced by both the sun AND the earth.
The most basic moon phase programs use what is called the "synodic period number", which is 29.5305882. It basically means that the moon cycles completely around the earth in 29.5305882 days. The problem is, the moon's position (and phase) isn't perfectly "linear", so simple date arithmetic won't give accurate results.
QuickPhase Pro compensates for all that, making calculations for crazy-sounding things like the "mean anomaly", "orbit eccentricity", "parallax", "true orbital longitude" ... to churn out accurate numbers. This means that QuickPhase Pro gets within at least 10 to 30 minutes of the precise moon phase at any moment in time. Amazing!

The simpler moon programs I found were either boring or unsupported or were missing a few key features. (The way I figure it, even if someone eventually comes up with a program similar to mine, it
won't ever be as attractive as my entire package! Read on...)
What is the "Ideal Moon Phase Program"?
If you are like me, you want a solution that:
- Avoids Internet connections and websites -- in other words, you want personal computer software
- Provides the moon's phases, without the "fluff" and unnecessary information
- Is simple, fun and easy to use
- Gives detailed current moon phase information immediately -- on the opening screen, with:
· Visual image of the moon's current phase
· Age (how far along the moon is in a full cycle)
· Percent full (exactly how much of the moon is illuminated)
· Phase name (New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter Moon, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter Moon, Waning Crescent)
· When the next new moon is
· When the next full moon is
- Allows calculations for any selected point in time (year, date and time)
- Has calendars for fast past and future browsing ... with clickable days ... and printable
- Is accurate anywhere in the world without confusing time zone setups and settings
- Great graphics to simulate looking at the real moon
After my research, I realized that the program I was looking for just didn't exist, so I decided to build it myself. Several months later... QuickPhase was born!
Is it hard to use?
Nope! QuickPhase Pro is gives comprehensive moon phase information, but is still incredibly simple to use. Simply pick a date and time and QuickPhase Pro will calculate moon information for that date instantly. Enter another date or click a button and instantly generate a calendar for that month.
See for yourself -- here are the features of QuickPhase Pro...
Detailed Moon Data For A Specific Time And Date
QuickPhase Pro always opens up to the current moon phase -- so you'll always know at a glance what the phase is right now, as well as when the next new or next full moon is.
And yes - that's the REAL moon, based on an image taken from NASA's Galileo spacecraft. I wanted to use real photographic images of the moon because computer-generated graphics are so bland and uninspiring!
You can select any date and time back to the year 0 B.C., and up to 4999 A.D.! QuickPhase Pro has been checked for accuracy for years 1700 to 2035.
If you have a question, you can click on a term or label, and get popup definitions or explanations.
Advancing the program to the next day (by exactly 24 hours) is easy: just click "Back" or "Next".
Notice the "Find the Next" part? Here's how it works: Enter a month and day, and QuickPhase Pro finds the next 7 full or new moons
that occur on that date. For example, when will a full moon fall on Christmas or the New Year or Halloween? (Hint: it doesn't happen very often!) Instead of endlessly clicking through every year,
you can just press the "Find" button and it'll list the next 10 occurances on that date.
Fast Monthly Calendars ... For The Past Or Future
These calendars are a valuable tool for anyone interested in predicting, researching or planning around the phases of the moon. Simply pick a month and year, and find out the phases of the moon! For example, what was the phase of the moon when you were born? When you got hired for your job? On 9/11? Is there a pattern between your mood and the moon's phases?
You can click any moon image on the calendar and get fast details in a popup box: Age, Percent of Full, and Phase Name. Want more detail? Just click any day number, and you'll be taken to the main screen with that day as the "Target Date". Nice and simple.
The 4 main quarter phases -- Full, New, First Quarter, and Last Quarter -- are marked as colored dates on the calendar.
And of course you can navigate month to month using the "Back" and "Next" buttons, or select the month and year and click "Create Calendar".
Two Printable Calendar Designs To Choose From
These are high-resolution calendars, so they print beautifully on laser or inkjet printers. The output fits a single month on one sheet of paper. Notice that the calendar on the right has space reserved for a note on each day.
Every calendar you print will have the 4 main quarter phases marked.
What People Are Saying About QuickPhase
I released the first version of QuickPhase on the Internet in June of 2002. Today, moon enthusiasts around the world are using QuickPhase to predict and research the phases of the moon.
Not surprisingly, I get most orders from the United States (particularly from the large states), but some memorable orders have come from Greece, Czech Republic, Kenya, Cyprus, and Ecuador just to name a few!
Who uses QuickPhase? Fishermen and hunters, gardeners, researchers, astrologers, astronomers, new-age, religions (of many kinds) and more. Here are some of the emails I have received from delighted QuickPhase owners:
"This software was exactly what I was looking for. I needed something for planting guides, spiritual beliefs, and planning outdoor journeys. This is a very informative and professional piece of work! I will continue to use it on a daily basis. I have tried to mention this program to my classmates, co-workers, friends, and family. I feel as if I've been left in the dark because most people have either seen it, heard of it or better yet, use it. Where have I been? I have thankfully found it. I appreciate you hard work and dedication to such a beautiful moon. Keep it up!!!"
- Jeffrey Engler, Kansas

"I run a non-profit making weather station that supplies quality weather data to the local community. Information of lunar phases is contained within the almanac released in our Daily Weather Report. I have found it to be very accurate in relation to previous sites/software I have been using."

"I just installed your program on my computer at work, and it's beautiful. I can't wait to get home and put it on my home computer. I just wanted to let you know, I've been looking for a decent moon phase calendar for a long time, I'm glad I finally came around yours ... I absolutely love the program."
- Michelle Pellot, New York
|
"I am using the QuickPhase Pro package in a workshop on the phases of the moon with 1st grade elementary teachers. Many of the activities listed for teachers to do with students in the curriculum require nightly observations; this program allows use to virtually observe the phases so the teachers have quick experience in identifying the phases of the moon within the activities. I don't have to hunt for a site on the internet and hope it is there when I need it. I will let the teachers know about the program and how easy it was to purchase it. "
- Cheryl Wood, Florida

"This is a beautiful, fun and simple program to operate ... I like the deep space look of the
images of the calendar, the realism of the moon images,
and also the daily "specs". I printed out the monthly
calendar as a reference document. In all, its a very
welcome product!"
- Jerry M.
|
"I really like QuickPhase Pro in the short time I have had it. I am an amateur astronomer and I use it for planning my observing, both of the Moon and of deep sky objects (when the Moon is a source of light pollution!). ;-) I especially like its "portability", the fact that it doesn't have to be installed in Windows and stored in the bowels of MicroSloth's registry. It is neat and quick and easy to use."
- George Reynolds, Virginia
|
"Since I bought this program I've grown to love it. Easy, bug-less (in my experience) and always there! If you can't have the moon, this is the next best thing. It's handy, attractive, simple and seemingly foolproof (which in my case is essential)."
- Patrick Moore, Illinois

"The moon images are beautiful. It's a lovely thing to have on the desktop. And you're so prompt. I'll tell my astrology class about this one."
- Gail Carson, Australia
|
"I'm enjoying quickphase very much. It's a simple but beautiful program and it allows me to keep in touch with the phases of the moon. Where I live it's foggy most of the time so your software really helps."
- Rimas, Half Moon Bay, California

"I am a retired Naval Officer who commanded a US Navy ship. Obviously, celestial navigation is a topic near and dear to my heart. So, when my 9 year old daughter was studying the phases of the moon, I was eager to make her understand how the moon phases work. Her teacher assigned her the task of observing the moon each night and then draw and label the phase. Unfortunately, moon rise many nights is well after her bed time. So, I found your software the perfect tool to help her understand what the moon should be on a certain night and how it moves through its phases each month. The software quickly eliminated any confusion she has and made it easy for her to fully appreciate the magnificence of the sky. Thanks for a great product."
- Bill Lewis, Virginia

"The software is super easy to install and run and is very accurate. I can look at the calendar for tomorrow night and tell the combat patrol leader with confidence that he will be working under a 1st Quarter Crescent moon. That is a very good piece of information that he can use to better prepare his men and needed equipment. Thank you for making such a wonderful program."
- Sargent B., From somewhere in the "Sunni Triangle", A Co 120th INF (M) FSNCO

"What a nifty program! Not only does it give a picture
of the moon, but it gives lots of useful info along
with it too! No more guessing at "is it full, or
almost full?"
- Patti Brown
|
"I am very happy with QuickPhase Pro. It is simple to install, simple to use, and aesthetically appealing. I use it in conjunction with Rowena Pattee Kryder's book, "The Faces of the Moon Mother," to remain aware of the daily phases of the moon and their effect on my own psyche. It tells me exactly where the moon is in the waxing/waning cycle, which reveals the basis of my emotional life. Thank you for a straightforward, affordable product which does exactly what it says it will do."
- Lilly Ambrose, Georgia

"I do enjoy your program, it is very useful to me. I am a 5th grade elementary school teacher and one of our science standards is the phases of the moon. Your program, including the printable calendars, is a great way for my students to see the moon in action. They have been observing and drawing the moon for the last month and they double check their observations with your program. I am very happy with the software and I did enjoy all the bonuses, there were some great pictures to share with my class."
- Francisco Aguilar

"I brought this product to help me with my one of my assignments that I am doing for my GCSE in Astronomy. I think Quick phase pro is brilliant and am so glad I downloaded the software. I have told all my friends how brilliant it is."
- Miss E L Parker, United Kingdom

"I am very pleased to inform you that I have downloaded the Moon Calculator and played around with it. IT'S GREAT and well worth the money spent for it!"
- Tziona Y. Nelson, New Jersey

"I think your calendar is great! It's the best I've seen, and I've
looked around a lot for these calendars."
