    Nautical Almanac for 1994 pdf
    From: Frank Reed
    Date: 2013 Jun 6, 00:04 -0700

    Antoine's recent comment noting that he did not have those oblateness formulas from the Nautical Almanac persuaded me to complete a small project. For anyone who does not have a recent (but not current year) Nautical Almanac for reference, here is a cleaned-up version of the Nautical Almanac for 1994. I modified this from a copy that was digitized and made available by Google a few years ago:

    http://ReedNavigation.com/files/Nautical-Almanac-1994.pdf

    This gives you all the standard permanent tables, useful for teaching purposes, plus the explanations and the pages detailing calculator computations, etc. There are a very few pages with holes or clipped headings. This download is around 140 megabytes.

    Note that this "complete" 1994 Nautical Almanac includes the "official" UK/US explanatory material. The Brazilian edition of the Nautical Almanac for 2013 that was linked recently has a thoroughly re-written, localized explanatory section and none of the other "permanent" pages. If we could get these two pdf's to breed, their offspring would be the complete official Nautical Almanac in pdf form. Of course we have the data itself, sufficient for navigational purposes, from multiple sources, so that "complete official" pdf would be only for our amusement.
