I have posted an (admittedly slightly crude) Universal plotting sheet on my navigation site: http://www.righttrak.com/navigation/CelestialPlotsheet5.gif If you look at the navigation site, you can see a nifty new method of sight reduction, albeit one that requires a computer. While the documentation is scanty, the page that has the form also contains the Javascript code to actually do it for those who are interested. The method boils down to 5 vector operations, pretty cool! Thanks a lot for this list, my next project is to learn lunars and eventually document that as well. cheers, Dov
