    Really interesting, Greg. What log/trig tables are you using?  -Hewitt

    photos show what can be pre calculated before an observation is performed. 
    The remaining computations can be performed at a leisurely pace in less than 
    four minutes. The result is accurate to four places even when the the SIN 
    product is calculated by slide rule. I like the trig/log tables because they 
    are compact enough to fit into my sextant case along with a K&E 4070-3 slide 
    rule .
