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. -- GregR --- Mike Burkes wrote: > > Hi Greg, Try this one from Leonard Gray's "100 Problems in Cel Nav". > The only duplication I see is Ho on Lines 7 and bottom unless I am > missing something.
