Re: Table of increments online

John,
Maybe the attached Excel spreadsheet will be useful to you. I built it several years ago, for the same type purpose. You could just print it out, and use the paper copy if you wish.
As usual, "not to be used for navigation," "no warranties expressed or implied," "use at own risk," etc.

I am attempting to work through a sight reduction exercise (Silicon Sea Leg 11)at my desk during my lunch break. I have H.O. 229 here at the office, but no Nautical Almanac, so I am using the online Almanac at www.tecepe.com. I just discovered that the online Almanac does not include a table of increments for the minutes and seconds of GHA. Two questions:
Does anyone know of an online copy of the table of increments?
Does the table vary from year to year, or are the increments for minutes and seconds always the same, so that the table in a 2009 NA could be used for a problem that uses the 1996 NA?
Thank you,
John Parsons
