This paper developes a procedure for computing and tabulating weights and nodes for a Gauss harmonic interpolation formula which allows one to approximate a harmonic function of two variables at a given interior point of an arbitrary circular region with given prescribed values on the boundary. The nodes can be calculated by finding the Zeros of simple, well-behaved trigonometric polynomial, and each individual weight can be calculated directly by using exactness properties. Examples are given demonstrating the ease of computation and the accuracy of the formulas.
