    Greg, Hanno,

    I agree with others that it would be great if you succeeded in getting your method included in an “official” publication. I suppose I am among those who went through the current sight reduction tables in that almanac exactly once, got the right answer (eventually…), and then never used them again. Well done!

    Ken,
    A 5 place haversine table to the minute of arc would  be 9 pages and half that for 4 places. The Ix graph should be a single page  fold out if possible. Instructions and examples should fit on a single page. Total max pages would be no more than 11 without trying to go small.

    Sorry to say I have not been following the details of the Hav-Doniol sight reduction, but another route to publishing it would be the Commercial Edition of the Nautical Almanac. I don't have hard numbers, but I think this outsells the British and US versions by a substantial margin world wide. This can easily be added to the edition if it doesn't require too many pages. If someone will tell me the number of pages required, I will investigate this.  Some of the older members may recall we used to add the S-Tables to the Almanac just to make it more competitive to the US version. It would be too late to get into the 2016 Edition as it goes to press now.
