Should you find this one is in error, too, please let me know.

Andres,
here is a copy of the Azimuth Diagram.As for my chosen method for multiplication I have trumpeted
the advantages of the Vedic / Butterfly method as you might know.
Let me do it here again:
* Produces just the needed leading digits if so desired -
i.e. the 4 digits for hav-Doniol therefore saving superfluous work.

* No need to memorize carries.
* Orderly structure; leads to reliable error checking.
I am by nature a terrible "multiplicator". With this method I have reduced my error rate
immensely. Greg Rudzinski, however, is a gifted number cruncher and thinks not much of this method. :)
Regards

Hello Hanno,
I cannot find my printed copy of your Azimuth Diagram, and I printed another one, but something is wrong, testing it with: dec = 30, LHA = 40, Hc = 50 -> Z = 58 not 60.I think is an issue with the migration from WXP to W7, and the distortion of the scale while printing. To avoid this, is it possible to obtain a PDF copy of the Zn diagram?The PDF allows you to print without rescalingFor my is very useful the repetition of the scales: left = right, top = bottom, this makes me easier the plotting of the lines with only a ruler.best regards,
