    Well, my memory is not so good:-)
    In addition to the maximum declination,
    one has to remember the time of a
    solstice
    or of an equinox to do the procedure
    you suggest.
    
    But I agree that it is easy to memorize
    the day of one of these events.
    And the hour is irrelevant if your goal is 1 deg
    precision.
    
    Alex.
