    Zenith distance = cos(Lat)*cos(Dec)*ver(LHA) + ver(Lat+/-Dec)  

    [For the 2nd term above, remember ADD - that is, add if different, subtract if same name]

    Hc is 90 - ZD.

    Reeds give tables of log cos and log ver to facilitate the calcs. It is very simple and easy to use. Plus the book is small - an alamnac and sight reduction table all in one slim volume. Brilliant.
