Bill asked: > Does this look like the method you use to calculate slope? > > Delta H (rate of change in arc minutes) per minute of time (divide by 60 > for degrees) > > Delta H = 15 * cosine latitude * sine azimuth (or its supplement) I used a graphical method to indicate slope which gave +32 minutes of arc over 5 minutes. This formula gives 32.02; so looks good.
