    Re: Sight Reduction Form With No Duplication?

    This is really a good sight reduction worksheet (and fairly close to
    the one that I came up with for my own use), but unless I missed
    something there's no line for the Moon H.P. correction - so it really
    won't work as an "all-purpose" form (Latitude by Polaris and LAN are
    their own animals, so they each get a separate worksheet just for
    them).
    
    I also like the way his form has Assumed Latitude, LHA, and Dec shaded
    to make them easy to find when entering the sight reduction tables (I
    have them in bold on my own form).
    
    And since we're sharing our own personal worksheets, here's a copy of
    the one that I came up with that (so far) seems to work the best for
    me.
