    Re: Fix by Occultations

    Four works provide a good explanation both of how to carry out the 
    calculations, and how the values in the annual table of occulations in the NA 
    are/were/could now be calculated:
    
    The American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanace for the year 1902
    
    A manual of spherical and practical astronomy, Chauvenet
    
    The mathematical theory of eclipses according to chauvenet's transformation of bessel's method, Buchanan
    
    Occultations from The computation of Ephemerides, a collection of articles by Joseph Morrison
    
    All four available via Google Books.
