    Dear Frank [FER],

    I have detected that if the format of the message is [Text without format] enter immediately in NavList, but if [HTML] is used there is a delay of five or six hours.

    Do you know why?

     

    Andrés

    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 <= +90º

    0 <= GHA <= 360º (W to E)

    0 <= H <= 90º

    -90 <= B <= +90º

    0 <= L <= 360º (W to E)

    and

     

    LHA = GHA+L

    sin H  = cos B cos Dec cos ( GHA+L ) + sin B sin Dec

    -180(W) <= L <= +180º(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.
