I've created an Astronomical Calendar for August which can be made into your computer's desktop wallpaper or printed to paper.
The Moon's daily phase, size, earthshine and opposition flash are all still featured. But the images are smoother than before, and more room is allowed for desktop icons. Information on the periods of visibility of the planets has been added.
The daily Moon is depicted as it will appear on the night between two dates. Specifically, a waxing Moon is shown at the time midway between Sunset and Moonset. A waning Moon is shown at the time midway between Moonrise and Sunrise.
1) Click http://www.curtrenz.com/calendar2.html
2) Right-click the calendar after it fully downloads.
3A) Click "Set as Background" to make it your wallpaper.
3B) Click "Print Picture" to print to paper.
Don't be concerned if the image seems the wrong size. Your computer will adjust it to fit as a wallpaper. If printing to paper, choose Landscape Mode.
