How do I calculate a simple angle from longitude and latitude? I am trying to use ephemeris data for comet Halley to plot its orbit for use in Kepler's Laws. I need the angle from a horizontal that can easily be found with a protractor from Halley's longitude and latitude at different positions. I know this probably entails a sperical coordinate rotation, but I can't information on this. If you have a clue or even a site where I can find ephemeris that is easier to work with let me know A.S.A.P.
