Is anyone willing to help a newbee with the Ageton
method? I found a copy of Ageton's Celestial Navigation, copyrighted
1943. I've gone through the example in the back chapter on using the
method with D.R., but I don't understand where he gets the value 'R'. I
can see how he draws the line segment, but where is that value taken from the
table, or is it derived from a formula only?
Thanks
