You should be puzzled.  I hosed up. Mistyped it once, copied and pasted 3
times, changed it for each case (and did than incorrectly in the last case)
and viola, off in deep space.

The initial Z should read "LHA"

Zn is determined as per 229 usual rules:

N. Lat
L.H.A. greater than 180.....Zn = Z
L.H.A. less than 180....... Zn = 360-Z

A. Lat
L.H.A. greater 180..........Zn = 180-Z
L.H.A. less than 180........Zn = 180+Z

Apologies to all,

Bill
