Status
------

This change has been marked as submitted.

Review request for KStars, Akarsh Simha, Henry de Valence, and Rafal Kulaga.

Repository: kstars

Description
-------

As such there are no major changes made in Moon Position algorithm in Meeus 1998 from \
Meeus 1991 but few constants are modified which increases accuracy by few \
arc-seconds. 

Previously Tools->Calculator->Time Calculators->Almanac always produced phase unknown \
which is fixed by calling findPosition() and findPhase() before calling illum(). 

Diffs
-----

  kstars/skyobjects/ksmoon.cpp ac7e4ed 
  kstars/tools/modcalcdaylength.cpp b11cca2 

Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/113019/diff/

Testing
-------

Tools->Calculator->Time Calculators->Almanac produces correct phase.

Thanks,

Vijay Dhameliya
