SmartChart v5 : Vernal Equinox Version

Version 5 of the SmartChart in now available for download with some major enhancements.
  1. There is an inbuilt Ephemeris program that calculates planetary positions based on birth date, birth time and birth longitude.
  2. The macros have been modified so that they are compatible with earlier versions of Excel
The Ephemeris program has been obtained from Astrodienst and is based on the famous Swiss Ephemeris that is available free of cost as long as any software that is developed with it is not sold at a price. For more details, please lookup their website.

SmartChart v5 needs the files to be downloaded and co-located in the same directory as the SmartChart excel file.

ftp://ftp.astro.com/pub/swisseph/programs/ : swetest.exe
ftp://ftp.astro.com/pub/swisseph/ephemeris_files/ : seas_18.se1, semo_18.se1, sepl_18.se1

The longitudes calculated through SmartChart v5 are accurate to within 1 min when compared to the values calculated by the free Junior Jyotish program.
