Jean Meeus in his Astronomical Algorithms (second edition) page 344 gives
some terms to be calculated to obtain the correction to the mean lunar node
to obtain the longitude of the true lunar node. However, he specifies that
there are only principal terms, indicating that there are other terms as
well. Meeus mentions that the full terms are available in:
M. Chapront-Touze and J. Chapront, Lunar Tables and Programs from 4000 BC to
AD 8000, Willmann-Bell 1991.
So if anyone has access to this book, perhaps via a library, and also the
kindness and time to help me out here, I would be much grateful.
Thanks.
