It seems my azimuth calculations weren't OK as everybody expected. I suspect I meant by my Zn calcs coming out just fine, I meant that they didn't cause my calculator to crash. Upon going over past sights tonight with my corrected formula, I find that indeed they were off. Anywhere from 2 degrees to 15 depending on the altitude of the body in question. Back to the drawing board. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
