It can be done with other moons as well if you change the equation.

T_synod = (Parent's siderial period * moon's siderial period)/Abs(Parent's siderial period - moon's siderial period)

This already works with this function. You “simply” have to set the second parameter to the parent's siderial period. The only problem is, that it can't be easily calculated in the {{Infobox/Body}}, because it has to calculate the siderial period of the parent body. To do this, it needs the parents apsides and I would like to have the parent's parent. One could say, but hey this is Kerbol, but only now. Maybe there will be Moon's moon or extra stellar systems. — xZise [talk] 04:35, 15 July 2013 (CDT)
Okay somehow I did it ;) — xZise [talk] 05:07, 15 July 2013 (CDT)
