This would be a GREAT formula to put out on the IMO, AMS, DMS, NAMN, etc. Web sites! (I'd be happy to put it out on the 'meteorobs' site as well.) Maybe this would be a useful adjunct to the "List of Acronums" suggested by Malcolm. Note that for IMO members, this formula is published in the first issue WGN sent out at the beginning of each year...

Clear skies!
