Here is a good one for the basic phases:

"The tables available though the links below give the date and time
(Universal Time) of all phases of the Moon for the six thousand year
period -1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 4000 CE). This data is provided
primarily to assist in historical research projects.

For the year 2000, the length of the mean synodic month (New Moon to
New Moon) is 29.530588 days (=29d12h44m03s). However, the length of any
one synodic month can vary from 29.26 to 29.80 days due to the
perturbing effects of the Sun's gravity on the Moon's eccentric orbit.

Each one hundred-year phase table also indicates when an eclipse of the
Sun or Moon takes place. An eclipse of the Sun can occur only at New
Moon, while an eclipse of the Moon can occur only at Full Moon.

Historians should note that the astronomical dating system used in
these tables includes the year "0" while the traditional BCE - CE
dating convention does not.

Thus, the year "0" here corresponds to "1 BCE", the year "-100" is "101
BCE", and so on. The old style Julian calendar is used for dates prior
to 1582, while the modern Gregorian calendar is used after that date.

Not only has the daily percentage visibility of the moon but the
declination of it too. I have just spent the evening failing to work
out how to convert it to an XL document so I can delete the columns I
don't want.

I'd rather mess around with that all day than collate a
weatherforecast. What I need is a wife who knows how to use a desktop
office and finds this sort of thing interesting.

Where can I find a desperate, young, rich, and pretty woman who has
those qualifications?
