Dear Mr. Peters:

I have tried to apply your method for new moons without success.

The results I get without including the solar corrections are:

Date: 28-08-1992 (day-month-year)-> Initial accumulator=20-> Cyclic accumulator= 12-> Full moon cycle plase = 1-> Full moon cycle cycle= 0

Date: 26-09-1992-> Initial accumulator=46-> Cyclic accumulator= 31-> Full moon cycle plase = 2-> Full moon cycle cycle= 0

Date: 25-10-1992-> Initial accumulator=23-> Cyclic accumulator= 4-> Full moon cycle plase = 3-> Full moon cycle cycle= 0

Date: 24-11-1992-> Initial accumulator=0-> Cyclic accumulator= 29-> Full moon cycle plase = 4-> Full moon cycle cycle= 0

Date: 23-12-1992-> Initial accumulator=26-> Cyclic accumulator= 10-> Full moon cycle plase = 5-> Full moon cycle cycle= 0

As you can see, i get a new moon for 23, december, 1992 and it should be 24,december,1992. Besides, the firs new moon for year 2000 results 5 january (and it should be 6 january).

Please, could you include more terms in your table for better understanding of the algorithm (or even better, the full table of terms from july,29,1992 to january,6,2000).

Best regads
