It was the arctan-tan! Also making sin(ω +f) into a cosine made it work. I don't know why, but that's what happened.

You are right. I'm generating my own mean anomalies so the value I get should match the value on the mean anomaly slider. Interesting you mentioned the wrong spot thing. I hadn't thought about that until yesterday so I quickly fixed it. The phase is still off but not as bad... Thanks for...

I'm working on this project and I've kind of come to a roadblock. Here's a little background: we have a 1 solar mass star and a planet orbiting it. The planet is defined by 5 orbital elements (period, mass, eccentricity, longitude of periastron, and mean anomaly). I wrote a code that will plot...
