Set your location. You can select a place name (which also sets the time
zone) or, if there is no suitable place, change the latitude & longitude
entries.
Set your local date, civil time and (if necessary) time zone.
There are buttons to set them from your computer or you can type into
the date, time and UT offset entries or Julian Date.
When you are happy with the place, date and time select the ephemeris
computation you want. I suggest you start with Sun or Planets to see what
this page can do, the Moon calculations are a bit slow.
