Console app for calculating Sun, Moon, etc coordinates for given point at the Earth with [skyfield library](https://github.com/skyfielders/python-skyfield/).

Next call saves to file `sun_xxxx.csv` in current dir the track of the Sun for location at latitude 51.551750 north degrees and longitude 45.964380 eastern degrees (Saratov, Russia).

```

source/main.py sun 51.551750 45.964380

```

If you want location with south latitude / west longitude, use negative values. For example Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

```

source/main.py moon -22.908333 -43.196388

```

You can use next options to change output.

`--step`: Track points step in seconds. Default is 20.

`--length`: Track length in seconds. Default is 432000 (5 days).

`--min_elevation`: Minimal planet elevation in degrees above horizon. Default is 1.

`--utc`: Sets UTC time for start calculating. Format: 2022-01-31:23:00 Default is now.

`--output`: Sets file name for output data in CSV format. Default file name construct automatically.
