SharpAstrology.SwissEph - Ephemerides for SharpAstrology

About

This package provides an implementation of the IEphemerides interface from SharpAstrology.Base. This is an idiomatic C# rewrite of the swisseph C library (version 2.10.3).

Use swiss eph files or JPL files for more precision

Follow the instruction from the original swisseph project and download the files you want. Than save to files into a folder and use the path to that folder in the SwissEphemeridesService constructor.

using SharpAstrology.Ephemerides;
using SharpAstrology.Interfaces;

SwissEphemeridesService ephemeridesService;

// for swiss eph files
ephemeridesService = new SwissEphemeridesService(rootPathToEph: "[PATH_TO_SWISSEPH_ROOT_FOLDER]", EphType.Swiss);
using (IEphemerides eph = ephemeridesService.CreateContext())
{
    // calculate positions here
}

// for JPL files
ephemeridesService = new SwissEphemeridesService(rootPathToEph: "[PATH_TO_JPL_ROOT_FOLDER]", EphType.Jpl);
using (IEphemerides eph = ephemeridesService.CreateContext())
{
    // calculate positions here
}
