The last paragraph from the end of that "The Tables . . ." posting should read: "Table 7 is based on ten times the number of minutes of arc in four degrees, that is, 2400. Entered with 31.'8 it gives log (2400/318), which is 0.8778." The "four" is the change. Sorry. Did my best, but there could be other mistakes as well. Bruce
