Re: Cannot get to run on MAC running macOS Mojave 10.14.3
Hi David, I suspect it is an xquartz problem, not xephem. I'm having no problem using the standard xephem distro <http://clearskyinstitute.com/xephem/XEphem-3.7.7-disk1.tgz> and xquartz 2.7.11

Re: Xephem, BC sky view
Hello Stefano, XEphem uses polynomial series for positions. Even a little beyond their specified range they tend to blow up and become very inaccurate. So I would not trust any info earlier than 1500
