Thanks Greg! Makes perfect sense.
I subtracted the 30' for UL sights from the first correction before I entered it onto my form. So, under the Moon columns in the linked PDF, where it says "R...+29.1'", the actual correction in the almanac was +59.1'. That shouldn't make a difference, right? The instructions actually read: "...but 30' is to be subtracted from the altitude of the upper limb." But since it's a simple addition/subtraction problem, I don't see why it would matter in what order it's done.
Thanks,
Sean C.
PS
Attached is the blank reduction form as an Excel spreadsheet. :)
