    Re: SS61 I need a push on DR ass long
    From: Russell Sher
    Date: 2000 Apr 14, 02:39 EDT

    Formula is: LHA body = GHA  body - west DR long. So if GHA = 1deg. 24.4',
    then LHA = 1 deg. 24.4' - 38 deg. 59.4' W.
    (Then, assuming that GHA which you calculated is correct):
    You'll need to add 360 deg to the GHA before subtracting the 38 deg. 59.4'
    W, which gives:
    361 deg. 24.4' - 38 deg 59.4' = 322 deg. 45.0' --- but...
    if you are using sight reduction tables (marine or air) and need a
    whole-degree LHA, then the assumed long. would be 38 deg. 24.4'W so that 361
    deg. 24.4' - 38 deg. 24.4' W, giving LHA star = 323 deg. 00.0'
    (did you use the formula, GHA star = GHA Aries + SHA star to get GHA star?)
    Regards
    Russell
