    Re: Marq St. Hilaire - Altitude intercept method

    Yes, thanks.
    I copy & paste it from my article " Vector equation of the circle of equal 
    altitude " without checking this.
    
    The equation is:
    
    sin H  = cos B cos Dec cos ( GHA-L ) + sin B sin Dec
    -90 <= Dec <= +90�
    0 <= GHA <= 360� (W to E)
    0 <= H <= 90�
    -90 <= B <= +90�
    0 <= L <= 360� (W to E)
    
    and
    
    LHA = GHA+L 
    sin H  = cos B cos Dec cos ( GHA+L ) + sin B sin Dec
    -180(W) <= L <= +180�(E)

    Perhaps the equation you cite:
    
    sin H  = cos B cos Dec cos ( GHA-L ) + sin B sin Dec
    
    Should be GHA+L, using the conventions you give.
