Use
Astro::Telescope to calculate the position in the sky from your location:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Time::Piece;
use Astro::Coords;
use Astro::Telescope;
print qq/Planet\tAzimuth\t\t\tElevation\n/;
for my $name (qw/Jupiter Saturn/) {
my $planet = Astro::Coords->new(planet => $name);
$planet->datetime(Time::Piece->new);
$planet->telescope(Astro::Telescope->new(
Name => q/1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC/,
Long => -77,
Lat => 38.9,
Alt => 16.7));
my $az = $planet->az(format => 'deg');
my $el = $planet->el(format => 'deg');
print qq/$name\t$az\t $el\n/
}
Output:
Planet Azimuth Elevation
Jupiter 132.670727106298 -7.05306603251409
Saturn 131.551952092501 -7.04332546770451
