Save yourself a ton of time! Since 2004, the lunar distance calculator on my web site has provided modern accuracy lunar distance tables for those early years with the option to select GAT (Greenwich APPARENT Time) as the independent variable. The (British) Nautical Almanac listed lunar distances in terms of GAT until 1834.
