.... which gives me the opportunity to say that the second edition of the LTA is available at http://www.starpath.com/publications/books.htm for slightly less than $30, and this edition has the NA tables for sight reduction.
There are a bunch of other neat books available from Starpath Publications too, including Bruce Stark's tables for clearing the lunar distance which are a must for any aspiring lunarian.

ah, but these are old and have no data you can not get in other ways.
the moon and planet data is not easily used for following years.
The sun and star data you can get for the entire period 2000-2050 with marginally more money spent (roughly $35) if you buy the Long Term almanac 2000-2050 by Geoffrey Kolbe, that also includes sight reduction table.
there are several places to get it, i have bought from Navastro.fr and Phises press both (no longer online I just found out)
