Does anyone have much experience using the cosine/haversine method of sight reduction? As I understand it, this will calculate Hc, after which the azimuth has to found using tables or formula. I am interested in finding some suggestions on what is perhaps the easiest way to find Zn (or Z)... (ABC tables, formula etc...) regards Russell
