Dear sir
i've been searching grt on the internet for the question asked to me by some of my frnd, and i was shocked that i didnt knew the answer for that.
question was why do we subtract 30' for the correction of altitudes for the moon in upper limb only and not for the lower limb?
what is this correction for and why do we need to apply it for upper limb only and not for the lower limb?
As the almanac just says us to subtract 30' we do, but it doesnt specify the reason behind that. plz help me in this regard.
thanks
regards
nitesh
