Bugs Patched for MICA 2.2.2

• [Systems affected: PowerPC Macintosh. Reported: February 10, 2012]: "Delta T file not found" alert appears after updating to/installing MICA 2.2.x on a PowerPC Mac. Obtain patch from Willmann-Bell. See FAQ for details.

Bugs Fixed in MICA 2.2.2

• [Systems affected: Windows and Macintosh. Reported: August 13, 2010]: For transits of Mercury and Venus, the calculation of least angular distance has been corrected.
• [Systems affected: Windows and Macintosh. Reported: September 27, 2010]: The equation of time calculation has been corrected.
• [Systems affected: Windows and Macintosh. Reported: October 7, 2010]: Astrometric asteroid position calculations have been corrected.
• [Systems affected: Windows and Macintosh. Reported: October 15, 2010]: Position coordinates were labeled with respect to mean equator and equinox of J2000.0 when they were actually with respect to the ICRS. The appropriate transformation from the ICRS to the dynamical J2000.0 frame has now been applied.
• [Systems affected: Windows and Macintosh. Reported: July 13, 2011]: The apparent positions of the Sun were being calculated incorrectly when multiple repetitions were selected. Single calculations were not affected.
• [Systems affected: Windows and Macintosh. Reported: November 7, 2011]: A missing Julian date time scale label has been added to the apsides output table header.
• [Systems affected: Windows and Macintosh. Reported: December 15, 2011]: An error in the display of the RA differences and position angles for the Galilean Moons has been corrected.
• [Systems affected: Windows and Macintosh. Reported: December 16, 2011]: Output table headers and user interface options for astrometric position calculations have been corrected.
• [Systems affected: Windows and Macintosh. Reported: December 29, 2011]: A precision error in the display of planetary conjunctions has been corrected.
• [Systems affected: Windows and Macintosh. Reported: January 19, 2012]: An error in the angular separation for the Galilean Moons has been corrected.

Bugs Fixed in MICA 2.2.1

• [Systems affected: Windows and Macintosh. Reported: January 29, 2010]: The sign of the longitude was applied incorrectly in the computation of local sidereal time.
• [Systems affected: Windows and Macintosh. Reported: February 18, 2010]: The proper motion in right ascension was applied incorrectly in computing star positions.
• [Systems affected: Windows and Macintosh. Reported: March 28, 2010]: Lunar Eclipse of June 4, 2012, at Latitude 114 degrees 10 minutes East and 22 degrees 18 minutes North was not being calculated due to the Moonrise time being close to the time of Maximum Eclipse.

Bugs Fixed in MICA 2.2

• [Systems affected: Windows. Reported: January 22, 2007]: Output that was being buffered at 50 lines for catalog calculations is now being displayed properly.
• [Systems affected: Windows and Macintosh. Reported: May 14, 2008]: When the greatest elongations of Mercury and Venus were computed together, by selecting "Both" in the Objects pull down menu, MICA 2.2 would produce erroneous results for Venus, even though it gave correct results if each planet was selected separately.
