                     L +/- d          Haversine  hv            Haversine hv
                     L +/- d        +Haversine  hv                         +P
                                        1- sum                      Arc Haversine sum
                                                                       Zenith Distance ZD
                     LHA              hv LHA                      Canculated Altitude Hc = 90°-ZD
