So to assist us in our quest towards azimuth table perfection, can you tell us whether all or any of the tables you proffer are afflicted in some way? Or how they work their magic - which data are required to enter them; on which formula are they based?
We understand that generations of seamen used such tables in the past, and that these tables were the least of their worries, but here we are gentlemen of a different ilk.
