The various editions of Bowditch include extracts from the (U.S.) Nautical Almanac. The 1943 and prior editions show one format (including the Sun's Declination and Equation of Time for every 2 hours, and the "Right Ascension of the Mean Sun + 12 hours" for each day). The 1962 and subsequent editions show the modern format of GHA of the Sun, Moon, Aries, Venus, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter listed every hour. In what year did the change in format take place?
